A Matter of Stones
Touching is believing. Faith could be simple,
it could be lying like a stone in the heart of your palm.
It could be as firm as a stone in the heart of your palm,
and as fitting in the place that your hand provides for it
as a seed belongs in the hollow of a pod. It is a matter
of density. And of destiny. It is a small, hard world.
It is a monument, in the mind, to concreteness.
It is a stone. It sees like a blind eye, and is,
becoming warmer, a third eye. It is a loyalist to life
and to survival. Touch it. It knows exactly what to be.
