treasure


my thoughts have sung to me.
only a caricature of life leads the way
while my eyes dance
from the most important thing
to the least and back
that’s the treasure

because although i see what’s happening 
to me
even i’ve forgotten every friendship 
made with a glance.
no subject is beautiful enough

when i die, portions of me will persist and those pieces 
shall almost certainly outlast the rest

i know the sacredness of chaos,
that when everything good is in ruin
i can laugh 
because it is funny.
snakes shed everything that protects them
and so can i
