Literature Text

your golden locks
not smearing metal, but filling chests
chests of nuts in stories treasured
nuts that flowed down mountain slopes
rivers that flowed to mighty seas
down your backbone.

a perfect portrait
of faces animated and the passage of time,
of dancers swirling, twirling, curling,
into the folds of their arms
of the sounds of a hymn
hummed;
to pull through a haughty night

for saints of wisdom
grew distraught,
and poets of feelings
were ever so sane.
I'd have it all in a handful yet
let it all out
to ignite being with the hint of a flame.

This is so pretty!

I love "hymn-hummed"; the clever way these two words play together actually makes me hear hummed hymns.

:heart:!
