The Tumor
by Melina Costello
Thursday, December 08, 2005
Rated "G" by the Author.

1.
One grain is all
it takes you said, one
errant thrust of sea
thru the soft aperture
of oyster
& the pearl is born.
The words
fell from your mouth
& floated up, blood
red syllables
in a clear
yellow sky.

2.
I was still
young when your cells
collapsed.
I placed
abalone
by the door
a gift
for your return.

3.
Once I had a thing
for time. I�d watch
the red hawk slowly circling
over yellowed fields, wings
plying heaven-layers
of gravity
before diving
& I knew
this was a message
a way of seeing
before thought�s
moist crystal
freezes
in the skull.
