The Pearl
by Marina DawnYou try to hold the pearl
in your mouth, like a metaphor.
You think, This is an animal thing.
Meaning, the pearl.
Trying to hold it--
that part, that human part.
You like this, how
it makes you remember the act of creation.
Having made this small wonder
from a piece of grit. 08/29/2010 Posted on 08/29/2010
