When the Gods tried to divide the light
from the darkness, the light scattered
and fled into shimmering fragments.
Mica, Hematite
Malachite
Each spark dimmed to hide
from the Gods with their cleavers,
their scissors, their claws.
Emerald, Jade,
Peridot
Each followed the darkness
into the soil and burrowed,
becoming one with the Earth.
Diamond, Citrine,
Amethyst
The light intertwined with the darkness,
the darkness intertwined with the light,
giving birth to shimmering veins.
Garnet, Aquamarine,
Moonstone
The veins swirled around metallic ores
feeding them with their brilliance,
embracing the shadows in a maze.
Ruby, Opal,
Turquoise
Serpentine, the veins grew muscular
arms and legs, thick tails, star tipped
claws, throbbing necks, star dust eyes.
Obsidian, Fused quartz,
Limestone
Alive, the dragons rose
shedding glistening scales
onto the sun kissed surface.
you’re
LOVED
uncondishinally
Some are caught in dew drops
in the filaments of fur and feather
in the sweat of hair less apes.
Silica, Iron,
Titanium
Some scales were harvested
into vials to be pour onto the head
of the adult child, child adult
you’re
LOVED
uncondishinally
where they will intertwine
with her black rose root curls
singing glistening the words
you’re
LOVED
uncondishinally
you’re
LOVED
uncondishinally
you’re
LOVED
