Your light natural veins are eclipsed by neon
green chemicals saturating your molecules.

Not satisfied with your vibrancy, we
inject you with this dye hoping
for more health, more wealth, more prosperity,

and still more.

Around throats, wrists,
clinging to a ring finger,
you are a magnet of desire,
a pull to absorb success
through our skin--

your cold stone touch,
my precious

semi-precious.
