WATCH
she gave
I treasure
when I check the time
and see the diamonds on
bezel and dial, I smile
“her love stays with me all the time”
How she loved diamonds, her birthstone.
Literally diamonds were her best friends.
She worked very hard and each piece
of jewelry she bought made her happy.
Cluster of diamonds or solitaires, emeralds
and sapphires with diamonds set in precious
metals of gold or platinum, earrings, bracelets,
necklaces in gold and Rolex gem-set watches.
The most precious ones were the four carat diamond
solitaire ring, the twelve carat graduated
Riviere necklace bought at auctions and the Rolex
watch with diamond-set bezel and dial.
She collected her precious jewels for decades.
Those precious jewels were her pride and joy.
Her eyes sparked when she showed them, and
her excitement filled the room with joy.
She died ten years ago, and her eldest daughter
kept them without sharing any with her sister.
Where are the precious jewels now?
Sold, pawned, or given away?
Clinking, clinking
I heard the clinking in
repetition
what could
cause
whatever object this is to
make this clinking sound.
Clink!
The loudest sound
yet.
peaking my interest
one's honest admission
dredged from it's
translucence
clear in obvious
objective
gaining my attention
I relaxed towards
it's conclusion
blanketing myself
to warm my now
needing desire

Gem array curves across cleavage
Spotlight follows her steps, precision
T - bar sandals pace perfect time
Relentless rhythm zephyre smooth spin
Turns spectrum splatter into unicorn sanctum
Tutu weightless wings ascend interstellar
Arched neck occasions o'clock twelve
Glimmering tights spiral twist, turn, glide
Movement minutely tuned, heels oiled
Ice sprinkled sprocket tight torso
Ropes in Rolex iconic admiring audience
Blink brief ballroom blitz, glamour's dazzle
Segues to monotone of marriage, aplomb
Poised final flourish encompasses a partner
Aisle Individual Ability intersects Alter Together
Desirable diamonds shimmer for minutes

Have you lost your telepathy?
How will we speak?
Say what you want to say to me...
I hear you and I'm listening.
Say it subconsciously,
Eye contact, gimme the green light.
Johnny gonna see why I'm a legend.
I'm so sapio, though
So I need you to tap into that telepathy.
Well, I need nothing, but I want it.
I love how you look
Attractive vessel.
Its my time. Guey bezel
Higher levels, Higher heavens,
Different devils- I have shovels.
3rd Eye, makes the matrix 6 feet,
9 lives, great pussy. F-R-E-E
Free the need to say it baby,
Let's use telepathy.
If you are in hell, Inhale
In jail? Inhale!
But exhale, too...yes. Inhale in hell the ex IT hell
Exhale, exit hell.
You can.
In, Ex. Repeat
Must emancipate the mind, the body, the spirit.
Everyone can hear it.
Are you listening?
If you can get some sun, get some.
Fresh Air? Get it.
Pain, release it.
In hell? Inhale. Exhale
Exit hell
In Jail? Mentally? ...Exhale. Exit that hell.
Dodge the hail. Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale 3seconds
Hold 6seconds
Exhale 9seconds
Inhale 3. Hold 6. Exhale 9.
Connect the dot
Don't let sick part rot
Refill with new
Inhale and exhale too.
Fill belly when in celly
Empty bell no more cellies
Inhale. Hold. Exhale.
It will get you to the next level
It will tame that new devil
Heaven runs your bezel...
Inhale. Hold it... Exhale.
A wristwatch with a nervous tick;
his mother thought him very sick.
Put on your socks,
at two o’clock,
I’m taking you down to the doc.
Try not to look so long and drawn,
and get your hands, they’re on the lawn.
Spring into action, align them straight,
or we will wind up being late.
And please, dear, put your best face on.
So just in time, at two o’clock,
seconds to spare, they’re at the doc.
The white coat rushes in the place,
leaped the room, a single bound -
appeared that he was pretty wound.
A jagged crack runs ‘cross his face.
Bezel Rathbone, in booming base
says, Come here, son, let’s take a walk,
for we have ways to make you tok.
Is it a metaphor for how time flows?
an unshakable sense of expectancy
the metamorphosis breeze through
unerringly advance
unhampered and untethered
the sun is the same
the light is in the darkness
If you require light, stay near the drapes
look at the peculiar gem in the bezel.

Not much light in the light.
Not much in the sunny glare.
Stay where the shadows dance,
see the jewel set within the unlit bezel.
Nothing original arrives staring at the sun.
Light is in the dark we shun.
Not much light in the light.
Not much in the sunny glare.
Not much seen from the two tarnished windows.
Grey matter slumbers deep in the lizard,
If you seek the light stay where the shadows dance,
see the jewel set within its unlit bezel.
Nothing original arrives while staring at the sun.
Light is always in the dark we shun.
Not much in the light that blinds.
Not much
in the sunny jocularity of the excited breath.
Not much from the two tarnished windows.
Grey matter lives as a sleepless lizard,
lobotomize the beast,
ideas are heavier than light,
stay where the shadows dance,
see the jewel
set within its unlit bezel.
Nothing original arrives
while staring at the sun.
