elysabeth faslund - Rocks in the Stream

Bright water, sun water, sluicing round br Grey rock... br Grey mists, gay mists, bouncing back br As rain on br Grey rock... br Is the rock etched... br Does it celebrate wind, waves, br Glad to be grounded br To the Earth... br Is it of the Earth...or, br Merely effected by br The air it lost the ability to breathe... br br As once rocks, inner occupants, breathed br Little waves, little mists... br Crawled paths on ocean floors... br Displacing mud to fossil... br In...out. In...out...breathe... br Hearing, feeling, summons, 'Come here br To regret land...come here.' br br Grey rock, smothered...contrived... br Were you the first deceived... br First owner of the Great Lie? br First mocked. br First murdered.
