stones

They are not as they were,

the bone of one strength broken,

rogue structure beggared,

equidistance awry.

Each itself pulsed self

in a living, together,

as they almost made words

on to a cleared hillside

owning sky; and valley;

and small streams, sheep-swerving,

to skip from being held,

demanding attention

out of believing minds:

a balanced asymmetry

owning sky; demanding attention
