Diamond on a wooden stick
First of July display
Conceived from entwining tempestuous force
of highest high pressure
of highest high temperature
Dazzling with sparkle and delight
Hiding the blackest darkest under-earth fight
Born in a rush of sweat and human tears
of highest high expectation
of highest high revelation
Polished and treasured
paid for with human wood-paper
elevated to anchor lover's fourth finger
of highest high testimony
of highest high possible acrimony
Stick finger better empty
Stick finger relieved, no more delay
Grieving now the only attestation
of highest high price
of highest high love-lost vice
