Water and Stone

 

 

Baked brown

 

By the

 

Sun

 

The mountains reach out

 

And

 

Milk the heavens

 

The clear milk

 

Of the skies

 

Spread a green blanket

 

Over

 

The parched magma

 

The earth

 

In a grateful gesture

 

Cups its belly

 

And

 

Collects the nectar

 

Man

 

Moved by the magic

 

Gnaws the stone

 

Into a ‘Namaste’

 

That reflects

 

Heaven

 

And

 

Earth
