salt (12/18/00) my heart a vault it's not my fault but i did halt to take the salt treasure in boys' forts not found in kings' courts in shades of all sorts opaque the fair quartz the ocean sands do swirl within the shell to twirl a single grain does whirl and then a priceless pearl though rarely clear as peril too prized for morris merel* not known by wild and feral is passion as the beryl? past token love surpassing fond it speaks of an eternal bond and sparkles through the servant's frond the blinding glitt'ring diamond my heart a vault it is my fault so i will halt to take the salt it will pervade naught can invade in any space to take its place*a game played with stones
