Raindrops on my face
A testament
To the cliches that
Spring forth from my lips
When given an open
Moment in time
Seldom does the
Queen unclench her fists
And allow a single
Blood diamond
To fall into the waiting mouth of a
Peasant
When she does
It rocks the world
They all know
Hit pause
Then resume
A cycle renewed
Pain slices through
Layers of luxury
She doesn’t
Even
Shut her eyes tight
When you are accustomed to
Whatever it is that you do
Nothing even matters
We were frantic
Didn’t get the rhythm quite right
Beat it out
On a skin stretched to perfection
Over a hand crafted frame
Either way
We didn’t get it quite right
So we must shed our skin
And start again
