Poems of Hope and Despair
Gold
If you know
the secret
of using
water
fire
earth &
air
for making gold
for fixing the sun
in your own sky
so that it shines
and sheds light
upon your body
If you know
to make gold
is to cure
to heal yourself
then you are
an alchemist
I know a man
he turns his gold
into ashes
upon his body
the sun
does not
shine
