Starbursts of Tourmaline

Your authenticity was your subordinate
The vessel of your branded nature
A dispassionate ambition like paradox
That held together your corporate person
A categorical imperative
Compartmentalizing the stream of your thoughts
While it universalized your every action
Bled you out
The ghosts of your passions
Driving you along
To your self prophesied destinations
The reason you controlled

Did the grass that lines the freeway
Speak to you through glass?
Remind you of lives past
And deserts crossed
And auras that filtered your dreamy eyes
Through mirages of perfection?
Stepping stones across the midnight river
Lighting starbursts of tourmaline
A neutralized positivity
Collecting the energy of your thoughts
And scraping at the mildew
That rid the crevices of your black schorl
From the shining of themselves
In the laughter of a hardened cynic
Collecting his souls’ reflections
Breaking stones to free the layers
A relentless psychologie
