glamorous avarice. 6.7.08 |

I have searched far and wide
for the pearls in his hand.
I have traded, haggled, bartered
for a chance to snag my hard-earned
reward.

I see them shimmer
and I see them glisten.
Their false light mocks goodness
and instead garners indolence.

I may be a greedy merchant,
and truly I have made corrupt bargains.
But penance was paid, assuredly,
and I have seen you, held you, pearls,
in my dreams. And I awaken
to see a great pearl deriding my
endeavour in the onyx sky.

You, Pearls, I am revulsed.
You have been cast before swine.
