karmic cleansing

Impassioned callouses

Shelter from the mundane

And the adminstration of scales which disect and

Palm the mortal coil

Inspire a deep yearning breath

As more sigh than yawn

More awe than gasp

Eyes that shine on soft wrinkles

Illuminate a gaze uncorrupted by fear

To measure a will amidst

Sea pines with needles bolted such that

Winter is hanging from their skin

Innoculate from the tragic trap of abstracted reverie

Stealing embrace, enrapture

Pinches and grasps

Substance of the sun, never to negate

The metals themselves surely strive for morality
