Stones

April 20, 2016

the stones had

done a good job

over the years

and had achieved

a certain charm in their

general chaos​​ 

and​​ dishevelment

still holding back the

encroaching hillside

but they showed

their age and not

their strength or​​ 

their experience

and so they needed

some help in stretching

out or sitting up​​ 

straighter

and so one

by one, stone

on top of stone

in an organized but

natural way

they were laid

again; each supporting

the next layer and

all together

giving the hillside

its form and its

anchor.
