A CANOPY OF GOLD
A canopy of gold
all the wealth of Nature
given away freely
as if it were nothing.
Storerooms full of
gold.
Caves and caches
hidden treasure
secret pirate chests
full of gold
gleaming in the low
sun
as if it were nothing
as if gold were dirt.
Beautiful but useless.
What need does she
have for riches?
A canopy of gold, of untold wealth, there for the taking. |
