You
are the
lotus
my
broken diamond
*
your prism
vitality
shines
from you
*
though
no sunlight
finds you
here
in
the depths
of
this forgotten mire
*
How crystal transparent
that heart
of you
fragile diamond
*
a flowering beauty
in this
swamped slough
of misery
*
You shine alone
in this
unjeweled night
and you
shame
the stars
*
who have forgotten
the haunted
places
