ELETAPEART1915 THE MOTHER-OF-PEARL #2B

The poet describes her personal state of stagnation

Oh Pearl You  Were Such A Cheat

Alive Yet Not Living

Not Dead Yet Dying

To Start Living Again



In Limbo You Were

A Pearl Without Worth

A Delicious Sweet Cherry

Untasted And Trampled



Like A FIsh Marooned

On A Dessert Land

You Were  A Perishing Flower

In The Parching Sun



Oh You Bundle Of Precious Energy

Yet Not Having The Resources

To Resist This Living Death

In Which You  Were Stalemated.
