In your heart

are a thousand lost valleys

some washed through with

rivers some old bone dry

rusted as a sunset

in your heart

are a thousand deep sea caves

phosphorescent, haunted

by the unclassified, hollows lurked

by strange fishes, unnamed

in your heart

are a thousand gates

some steel, camera watched,

electric, some stone of the bones

of old mountains, ivy climbed

hung with moss, lost in old forests

in your heart is an uncut

geode, agate in its belly

layers in a thousand colors

unsullied by eyes

painted through with a thousand

shades unseen, in your heart

are a thousand shades unseen

sunset rust

haunted blue

slick moss green

the greys of old stone

in your heart

are a thousand colors

unseen.
