Conscience

Hammering gold into leaf
Extremely thin unbroken sheet
Goldbeater's skin wrapped in ox intestine

Block of marble upon a tree trunk
Set deep into the ground
Greater resiliency for the hammer

Sticks in the mind forever
Gypsum powder coating
Prevents delicate gold leaf from adhering to the skins


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist
