in•ter•space
noun |ˈintərˌspās|
a space between objects : volcanic rock that has been crushed into fragments and the interspaces filled with turquoise and oxide of iron.

In the space between elements
distilled to the core, the individual is sifted:
valuable extracted from worthless,
turquoise and iron oxide from carbon—
the invisible unformed diamonds
we might yet become. Yield
under the heavy hand that brings
the crushing! It does render
your rock precious stone.
