Shapes

“Her bones
under the flesh are white
as sand which along a beach
covers but keeps the print
of the crescent shapes beneath.”

I learnt man’s tongue, to twist the shapes of thoughts
Into the stony idiom of the brain....”

Put the contraption before the accomplishment,
Lack skill of the interior mind
To fashion dignity with shapes of air.
Luxury, yes but not elegance!”
