Der Shornstein
(The Smokestack)
(The Smokestack)
In the dust
of the palm
of my hand
is the story
of every stone,
the myth of
earth's migrations,
the worn out song
of every rain.
It is a list
of days,
a sonnet
of evasion,
the constancy
of silence. It is
the taproot,
the periphery,
the stone's call,
a collection of all
cold murmurs,
the sanctity
of every red ash
that floats
into the moon's
holy silence,
breathing
still.
