Fountain Of Jade

I'd like to be made
Of earth
Instead of this flesh

Remade in the fire
Of my daily agitation
I am strong
But not enough
Alive
But not enough

It seems
The only things I have
In an adequate quantity
Are unsaid words
Not excusable mistakes
And sleepless nights

I'd like to be made from earth
And perhaps
I could bathe in the waters
From you fountain of jade




For G.
