    Nacreous Sacredness


Papery clattering
of the lotusypink onion peels
reminded their whitish closerbys
the sticky garlics
Both cracked out
as if in unasked laughters
exuding juicy inners
An iridescence therein the coats
hidden in certain sideways
Funnily, both inturn
pointed
the chitinous
cockroach wings
That too in halflifted positions
in runaway (p/f)light mode
Textural similitudes
 dry and shiny and brittle
  yet the toughest shields

All like the nacreous pearls
built up intricate
layer by layer
with such or the same
pure magical blocks
under salient seas and oceans
in painstaking patience
inside breathing shells

Gotten not much adorned
with pearly shimmers
over dusky skins
But hopefully
they shone their qualities
over Juneborns and whomsoever
in whatever ways
they are prayed or even thought upon
Such would be their selfless powerbless

I am a diamond
some say i'm not
least i'm no almond
blanched in a pot

Born on a Sunday
makes me a topaz
playing round in hay
some called me a nomad

I was in fact born
upon Easter day
in a field of corn
and ate carrots in May
