GEMPOINT


rest inside your eye
escape through a wink
reflected on the stairs

as they're passing by
and don't you think for a
second the test you or I

would make them blink or
even take them beyond

the sovereign halls for
a reckoning, realizing
themselves in the sky;

instead, they'd fall as
stowaways in a teardrop

carefully placed inside
a hidden oasis under
the sands of your face
