I Decided (Title Not Decision)

Mark Fleury

I decided it might be best to ease into
Ink’s journey from the deepest cores
Of all of the histories of every rock,
Pebble, grain of sand, speck of dust or
Jewel you’ve ever seen and/or dreamed.
After all, the purple in one of the jewels
That we both see now in a museumed

Glass case (bulletproof probably) was/is
Easily the combination of a t-shirt that
I saw at the edge of periphery while
Walking downtown to work and also in a
Plastic kid pool (both the water and
Plastic) in a neighbor’s front yard: Glow

Of water, blade of grass floating on top
And the sadness of the pool having been
Abandoned by children are all reasons for
Why the jewel encased in bulletproof
Glass is in this poem.

As for the deepest cores, they’re all
In the loneliness shared by the jewel
And the kid pool, the separation of
Them brought together by how it’s felt
That they share more than color.
