Because it was too heavy,
I slashed the tapestry of my brain
and brought out that grain
of galena-love
deposited there so long.
And because its glimmer in the
earthshine startled me,
I thrashed and bashed and beat it
hard
against the bridge between us.
I hoped it would shatter into sand
and sift through my fingers into Lethe
but instead it sparked and flared and has left
me burning before you.
