The Misunderstanding

by john soprych

 

 

I am not the staple food

which feeds the

body -- whole.

 

I am the spice.

 

I am the salt that

wars were

fought

about.



That stung each wound

it nurtured back.



That added

spark to

life



I am not the collective bulk

of the sword.


I am the elegant coarseness

that it grades upon,


which creates edge

from mere form.


And to value me,

Is to appreciate that.

else Not :(
