Resemblance Poem by Michael Burch
Resemblance
Take this geode with its rough exterior—
crude-skinned, brilliant-hearted...
a diode of amethyst—wild, electric;
its sequined cavity—parted, revealing.
Find in its fire all brittle passion,
each jagged shard relentlessly aching.
Each spire inward—a fission startled;
in its shattered entrails—fractured light,
the heart ice breaking.
