#13 After a song. One by Prince.


Diamonds & Pearls




square cut
marquise
oval
heart-shaped

freshwater
cultured

In a glass case
In the back of a shop
My eyes linger
on strategically lit jewelry.

There's nothing I need here.
Some things money can't buy.

Your hands,
my heart.
Your love,
my loss.
