Ivory Gemstone

Ivory Gemstone

A Poem by Julius Whitfield

This rock had once stayed in place

A city of imbalances now covered by snows of obsession

Applied the city with floods of carelessness, drowning all around it in apathy

Theres a current, if you hurry, you can probably catch it.

Theres something in the waters;

a consumption of desperation to chew and chock on ivory ashes

and manipulate through an object of cowardice

Entertain the city with a dragging need for something wretched and sour

Youre building up a disease, a sickness that the sky rains down

Staining the city and its shell

Reality weighs down, anchoring but single sacrifices can make up for the constant struggle and determination that youve fallen upon.
