Untitled

A shell within a shell within a shell
if you find him on a lonely beach
do not tell
anyone
that you found a shell within a shell within a shell
If you peel him
hoping to reveal him
uncovering a pearl
Will you feel him
trying to conceal him
with another whorl?
A boy within a boy within a man
if you found him in your plans
do not tell
anyone
that you found a boy within the boy within the man,
they will not understand.

If you hurt him
grind him up
desert him
he will curl and cry
If you hold him
snatch him up
and love him
he will fade and die.

A question mark curled within the word
if you answered
you ask, has he heard
but questions are shells like chalk and grit
he left without a word.
