Cut it off
Pluck it out
Rip and tear
Muted word
Count the cost of it’s life
Its too precious,
Oh, my precious
Silver and gold and pearls
Slobbered inside pigs’ jowls
Dripping sticking
Toss it
Or
hold it inside
Treasured up
Keep and watch and wait
Don’t let the breath stay sitting still
Too long, To leave
It
Paradoxes
of the both
Undecided indecisions
You won’t let it live or die
But create it not to be
And never was it
Worth it
