Daily, we are humbled like
tiny crabs scurry against
the shore, then senseless,
swept away to sea
where we were born.
Or so like oysters, clumsy
mineral shells built around
formless flesh, protecting
us in suffocating darkness
like death
until at last revealed,
lune-ruptured gifts, the pearl
so lovely gleaming
from our chests.
