AMETHYST
Crystal,
quartz-like, violet-tinged,
Draws
the gaze into its clear-shaped,
Sharp-edged,
peaking triangles-
Amethyst,
a jewel in rock.
Distillation
of dark colour,
Caught
in crystal clarity,
Motionless
as pure matter,
Sharp
as light's geometry;
In
that clear-cut crystal gleam
There
lives something of the light;
In
that cloudy, purple hue
There
lives something of the night.
