Treasure Hunter

I have no desire for glimmering, shiny things.

Grateful - as any person - to be acquainted

with them, should we cross paths, but to say

that I go scouting for material whims would

be out of touch.

I have always cared more for the body harboring

precious stones, than the treasure itself…

and can only hope that I am as adorned

on the treasure hunter’s heart as the artifacts

draped along his skin.
