Pearl 1

PEARL

Invested with iridescence
Calcium carbonate could impersonate
And subvert solemn  daylight.

In the indifferent ocean
Oysters copulate with future
And  grow gravid in nature.

Begetting a rare solidity
Befitting a miniscule masterpiece
Which is just happenstance

For a huge price, this prised-out gift.
