‘beneath that’ by Jelal Huyler

beneath that

thorny elbows   heels all made from glass
paleclay              ore          and grass
so as to not forget  in memorium
just because   it   weren’t  real
 
this world           as truth                as alice  s
 
a spool,
               some hands,
                                              a  wheel  .
