1visible, invisible,
a fluctuating charm,
an amber - colored amethyst
inhabits it; your arm
5approaches, and
it opens and
it closes;
you have meant
to catch it,
10and it shrivels;
you abandon
your intent—
it opens, and it
closes and you
15reach for it—
the blue
surrounding it
grows cloudy, and
it floats away
20from you.
