A mote it is to trouble the mind’s eye.

A little grain of sand
Left in the folds of the brain
Like a pea left under a hundred mattresses
Making a sensitive person
Toss and turn.
The irritant growing and growing
Adding layer of shell
Layer of luminescence
Layer of indestructibility
Over the trouble
Making it harder and more real
But also more beautiful.
