Jewel

my heart is an emerald that heals
it holds the power to transform
this art of pain and passion
the human machine of blood and will

my heart is an emerald that heals
it is a jewel that records time
this battery of my complex body
the source of desire out of its mind

my heart is an emerald that heals
it somehow can’t escape
this thrumming calliope of life
the same prayers every morning

my heart is an emerald that heals
it hears every word from
this womb in my chest
the discourse all a haunting lullaby

my heart is an emerald that heals
it loves a shedding season
this fusion core not unlike a snake
the skin left behind is poison

my heart is an emerald that heals
it wants to reach into the screen
this one barrier of our accessible world
the moth era of humanity

my heart is an emerald that heals
it consumes me with its weight
this heirloom handed down
the ruin of my lineage

my heart is an emerald that heals
it won’t go quietly
this percussive companion
the chorus repeating

my heart is an emerald that heals
it doesn’t sleep yet it dreams
this gem without vision still sees
the fine details
