the art of rolling stones:


The stones inside were small,

jagged

cut discord into words,

gestures and the lust that followed;

a shadow, a wolf, a breeze

sickly sweet, a touch too warm

for sleep.

 

The stones inside grew

smoothed

sought peace in words

art and an acceptance

that found laps, rested, purred, a breeze

tangy; scent of lemon myrtle

for dreams.

 

The stones rest upon eyelids,

draw the curtains

place the feet on a stool,

words a drool; the fool

now understands life’s a breeze

that whispers truth

behind loud footsteps.
