(Continuing) Improvisations

A lapidary head; a bodice streaked with fog.

Translation: Mica, fool's gold, 
river stone. What's the difference 
between a thing that cleaves perfectly 
and one that doesn't know the first
rule about shattering? Close
a fist around them. Listen
for what your pulse 
says to each.
