Mined Minds
I've met lots of people in my life
Most have just passed through
But not one person who I've met
Was anything like you
We haven't even combed the mine
Of what you and I could do
If us together, ores refined
Became one mind from two

A Diamond Mined
Reducing a book
down to one chapter
Reducing that chapter
to a paragraph honed
Reducing that paragraph
to one lasting sentence
Reducing that sentence
to a word
— truth atoned

crawling inside you fears are mined;

A hard swallow and it’s refined,

No longer the mine that

Mined Mind
Surprise ties to realization binds me to lies and the truth of who I am and where I've
been. The slim chance that I might be is whimsicle at best but the rest of the story is
told in storey by storey by molding life into what makes sense. Intense. I can't blend
