at the threshold of the heart’s
cave fern-fringed
carpeted with intricate violet
shadows ancient trickling
songs of emerald stalactites
songs of emerald stalactites
cool summer’s dry fever
quell primordial fears
calm the yearning clutter
seeping in around the edges
seeping in around the edges
subtle poisons that metastasize
like darkness like ice
obscuring the heart’s deepest
secrets dreams thoughts
everything that is
a surging cycling ocean
whose mysterious depths remain
forever unnamed
forever unnamed
