2 Pearls

Black Pearl — resplendent.

           Drags peacock   down     under
           below folded knees of Earth.
           Where eyes like cast nets
                       yank us from
                                shore to ruddy
                                          undertow, rippling
                                          below
                                          sturgeon's strand
                                          stuck upon by
                                          scattered dice
                                          shining black
                                          eggs like oyster's onyx
                                                                       below sea.

White Pearl — unleashed.

           Hovering impatience over petals
           then split night
                      like sparkling rocket
                      beyond milky bazaar
                                   rippling as
                                   one of one
                                   trillion billion
                                          upon
                                          great golden
                                          beach of
                                                                       galaxies.
