Pearls

Brooch, earrings, bracelet
icons of tears held unbroken under ribs,
or  a mere irritation, a speck you can't flick off
that grew into  luster stones,
heaving with love's pain

 Frozen eggs, cursed with eternal suspension
 the ideal spell, yet not a life

Tokens of a cast connection,
fed by the endless ocean,
I don them on, a thespian,
as I pray in your altar
displaying my insincere devotion
