I stand at the peak of a scintillating gem
Floating starkly in mid-heaven
A thin alternating channel
Laser cut, a central core
Spiraling around its brilliant conical expanse
Allowing light to dance and refract
Spectral splashes sputtering
I bask in the reinvigorating glow
A fountain of energy
Blooming from the track
Expressing energy tenderly
Like the petals of a
Shimmering desert rose
Rising up to caress and dance
Partnering me in the breeze of
A celestial spring
Feminine energy freely flows
From the deepest recesses of the scars
Carved in the pressure-formed shine
A radiant glitter that never dies
The winds of time could not weather
the lines in my carbon chain mind
Taking a soul-hardened drill
To scratch a polished diamond
Prong set and shining
Just don’t break my flow
I hold the weight of my world
You may be surprised to find
I shatter just like you
