May 26: I hope to have four or five pieces posted before the end of the year.
We'll see how I do.

Two Stones


He had two stones to bear.
they weighed him, weighed him.
He wore them well for many years,
he protected them and polished them
and tried to get them to sit on the table.
But they were old, they always rolled,
first one then the other then both.
One then the other then one day
no longer does he have those stones.
Still, they weighed him, weighed him.
He keeps trying to protect and he does not lie,
and wishes that he did not.
But some things are stronger than
storms, or the water
that will not keep the stones from plummeting down
and shattering the glass, or the ocean,
or his heart.

Many thanks to:
