what do you call
a black diamond
soul not vanished
or free from war
 
with its darkness
at least at truce
despite its dusky
hue not clear of
 
coal from which
it passed in life
or death sealed
into it how then
 
to true eyes that
choke on thought
to not see scalpel
sharp obsidian
 
that draws blood
if not held feather
light death sure
but what toughest
 
of all diamonds it
has become hard
and haloed raw
visceral stardust
