Intriguing this swaying candles flame, trying to convince myself tis but, an aladdins lamp?!
Whispering these words with an amulets charms, dangling about its waist; a world of visions
Kept in this alabasters oblong box; scented aneath rosemary sage and mystic lay with
Incantations butterflies swirling amid the fire of narrations ellipses stage; candles flames
Trying to convince itself tis an aladdins lamp; offering a world in myoptic, bipolar wishes!?

extracted from the quarry
soapstones, alabasters, limestones &
marbles,
all products of someone else’s choices
culminating in our
accidental, uneventful, mistake of
birth---
the silky faces begin without blemish &
through the early youth begin to gain
the scars of early adolescence,
the teasing at school, the fistfights, the
pulling of hair, the catfights, the ridicule &
flat out insults which end up forming the
base of the cast---
if at home the insults continue, beating ensues,
psychological abuse, religious oppression &/or
just plain old ignorance of the child
takes place,
then the digging carving knife makes its way in---
by the time the carving has
developed into something recognizable
as a full fledged adult,
its character is so warped
that one cannot look it in its
whittled out eyes.
