The Stone Remains Silent Even When Disturbed
In whose tongue
do you dream?
I fall closer to death
than birth, yet
the moon’s sliver
still parts the bare
branches and an unfilled
trench divides the
ground. Bit by bit,
we separate – you
remain in the earth,
recumbent, as I gather
years in stride.
Even the rain
leaves us alone.
Haunting but lovely

That’s ironic, Robert. A recent poem of mine concerns stones as well. I liked yours very much.

but there is something
deep in a stone
that is never still
