A pearl or two I hold In hand to fashion flight Daughter of my day and night My words to share Desperate, mundane Spoken to heartened disdain Glean the unasked need Shield the unbroken heart Harbor fantasies bright and dark Fret for fear of parallel Que sera, oh, what will be Give birth to haunting...
