sift them with adoring fingers,
some small, through fingers fall,
with thumb and forefinger, lift
for close~on examination
loved for their color and clarity,
and for the skill of men who take
them raw, cut and carat to become
spectacular improved o'er god's
initializing intimation
one of the few things men improves from nature taken
lust for their luster,
their clarity reflects no impurities,
some merely hard, some hardened
enough to cut skin and soul
their origin?
from deeper within
the human organs
they are spawned
these sounds of newborn
precious words,
their pleasure given,
humbles me,
these nuanced miracles of human creation,
under jewelers loupe examined,
tongue tasted,
by eye clarified,
innate sounds modifiable
to please the human ear-ring
and born with a certificate of
commonality, like bread
broken for sharing,
and for those who eat these,
add them to your collection,
and by bespeaking, free them,
*read them aloud,
so they may travel to every country,
where hello,
and haloed poetry is spoken*
