Listening to Seashells

What for love, a legend to a mind, to drill—for that feeling! I died a seed,
to form for seeds, a mythical butterfly. Oh for lies, to harness gold, four

mercy this pain, to drift where demons failed…
and long this life, as earnest as cuffs, to grip a cliff. We tint in platitudes,

like panthers, to whiff and run. We cry a vacuum, as rich as ink-pens, to
shift through trauma. Oh for roots, the first for sight,
to bend a tiny thumb. It’s more the years, to fret an outcome, speeding
through
memories…and mother knew…where father vamped…a sight for cages.
