I'll send a missive
a parcel, haplessly packaged
by these bumbling, cloddy digits

fill it with frailties
objet d'art of mine
my careful reminiscence

de anima
I will slice
like slivers of gold

pour in my intellect
places, names, things, phrases
I was sure I would forget

I'll synopsize my soul

throw it in a box,
carted off and off

until I'm set on the doorstep
an ogle and a gaze-in
at my what and whatnot

no return address

Hexis is what they told me,
even in times of trouble it must be.
Xanthic may be ones skin, but even
in the bad you have a haven.
So you need only look inside and see that Hexis is me.
This is my first poem to post, I was going for an acrostic poem. Not sure if it's any good, but it can't hurt to do a little poetry.
