..Treasure Box.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

..Treasure Box....



to capture
beauty with your bare hands
the fingers
have to be hurt

to hold peace
you cannot do it with your
hands in the
shape of a fist

to be king
you only have to be
alone

to regain speech
one must take the cudgel
of silence

yes, it is this sacrifice
that gathers the pieces
back to the treasure box
of the self
again
