Glimmerings
by
Melanie Houle
I
dream the images
of lucent stones,
their textures
and their tones,
their clarity.
They drive the
diamond-dusted
wheels that hone
the facets of
the words that
speak through
me.
I hold these up
and turn them
in the light,
examining the
patterns where
they might
reveal the sudden
spark of symmetry
that translates
subtle hues to
shades of fire,
strung like opal
beads on metered
wire.
