Slouching Toward Infinity

This Stone



This stone sits in hardscrabble
You're not gonna pull it free
Without scraping the skin
Clean off your knuckles
It won't just give up
You will have to pay
With a little of your own pain
It gleams with the softness
Of girlish promises
Unconditional love
And whispered pleasures
But don't forget to keep
An eye on those knuckles
