IN THE SHADOW OF PEARLS (Anonymous)

In the Shadow of Pearls
The glow of a pearly light waits . . .
Among gritty coral, silky sodden, sodden sand.
Granite is a rock-like substance
Little rocks, big rocks
Boulders commit sin.
In gold mines, who will silver find?
Copper in a conch shell . . .
Golden lava, a silver smith bears, bears down
Flow .. .. Glow .. .. Shine!

Rivers, alluvial, saline and fresh water
Ripples of tumbling little stones, pebbles
and pearls.
Come sit, see, Liquid gold. Value
Silver, copper, all metals and . . .
Iron
In the shadow of Pearls.

Throw flames receive stones, rocks
boulders abound
Solomon creeps in the crevices
of rocky crags, pillars of tall salt.
Bombarding particles, pebbles
flint, corrugated sheets of
Tin!

Money in bronze,
Paper in a water mark
Pearls!
A profusion, an accumulation of . . . .
Swine!
Shadows! Shadows!
Show down!
Shadow.
Shadows, shadows of Man, God
Grow, rise, descend, disperse
A pearl glows . . .A pearl glows at night.
Shadows fall,fall shadow
Casting night shadows
Shadows . . . .
In the shadow of . . .Pearls.
