Indigo Pearl Tears / by Zander Ford

What indigo pearl tears have I

In these bellows lungs?

Are they not sweet rain

Formed lovingly

By my internal

Storm clouds?

Ready to nourish

The fertile soil

To make it black again

Fragrant with newness

So that beauty may flourish

In ever evolving

Landscapes

Of emerald green

Eye-splitting delight.

What mossy rocks

Are ready to shine

Dappled with dew

Welcoming this elixir

Of life?

And golden finches

Dancing

In my

Indigo pearl

Tears

And

What rivers

Thirst

For my contribution?

This steeply terrained

Carefully navigated

Tributary of love

Pulled effortlessly

By magnetic

Gravity
