shed a tear into a Grecian urn
then write your name in a drift of salt.
siphon fog from the lip of a needle
and with a lump of coal
draw blood.

tip glaciers into a lake of fire
and dive in.
caste a pinch of deep
into the shallows of your human heart.
tell the truth -
you can't remember
it's name
then be redeemed.

then tell redemption, it never understood you

at all.
