to be hurt, to be held

-

to be hurt, to be held

to be caressed, to be cursed

to be kissed, to be bit

to be loved, to be desired

to smile, to grin

to whisper, to hiss

to touch, to scratch

to be sweetened, to be warmed

to sink, to rise

to tread softly, to be tread on

to be stroked and soothed, to be struck and torn

to hear his voice, to hear her voice

to see their eyes in the dark

to be gripped, to grip

to fall, to be swallowed

to plunge, to crest

to fall into an endless pit

or to ascend the brightest star.

 sometimes the gold is in the pan already there and nugget-like I can just bite down and make an impression Indent and imprint to make a mark to mark make But I feel even my most feeble attempts  will be as inconsequential as those furrows left in the ocean's sand shaking the silt just to tell a fortune already grasped but in the meantime i will chew the pulp  and wonder for soup.
