Word stones
You wrote, Stones
Pass away, but
Words last forever.
You, completely lost
Completely found in
Names / sound stones
Stolpersteine / Stein’s
Stones words laid
Across pages like
Bricks though places
Aren’t bricks are
More diaphanous sound
(A stone’s light)
A feeling before
Emotion before act
Even a set stone
Gets acted on
When we look
Not to step
On it / another
Genocide blooms red
Under shattered concrete
Each soul a stone
Like yours thrown
Across sea water
Skipping like a child
Like your eyes
When you laughed
At the human
Comedy before it
Curdled like milk
Or office politics
Quoted words from "Dear Mom (IV)"
