31 Poems in 31 Days - Day 4. Place - Tiny stones on granite







Tiny stones on granite


Atop the ebon granite
sit small stones
fresh picked from
paths through the
fresh mowed grass
small stones as tiny
sentinels stand atop
the incomprehensibility
of your name - your name
in black granite - cut in large block letters

~





dedicated to my father on this Yom Kippur eve
