Culturing

It's about the pearls, but feel free to interpret it however you want to. I've heard them all...

CULTURING

 

I am told they

force mussels to birth

pearls

pry their life wide

insert seed

and smile

Reviews

[Onyx Sky]

So subtle, but deep nevertheless. I really enjoyed this piece. There is sadness in this poem and selfishness... Humans can be so selfish.

GOOD ONE
