My Soul's Medallion
keep this in your bright heart's hollow
t'was rolled twice in the dust of stars
along the track t'winxt earth and mars
where cosmos would surely collide
save for my constant vigil
I watch the planets
keep theur time
and allthe things I say,I see
here take this thing away from me!
sewn inside are seven seasons
waxed and sealed by kings and queens
some for love and other reasons
slide them on your hands and fingers
gloves of love and sweet obsession
for you know how I conspire
to hold the wind and tame the fireflies
hold this lest true love expire
let the potion spread so fine
right along your earthquake line
plates of passion
sliding sliding
'round your skull
the tremors gliding
occipital configurations
chosen in the stars
numbers noted one to seven
point your visage up to heaven
mount up on your starry stalion
now take this...
my soul's Medalion
etched around with sharp
decisions
cutting to the bone with
visions
wear it till you come back home
I'LL be here
awake,
alone
