Two Years Gone

I'm two years from here alone with the echo of the hills. You were made of stone -- piece by careful piece they built you. I watched as you churned to life. You see, I come with my ancestor's traitor heart and his black hair. Two years gone, I wake to the sound of your voice, heavy as railroad ties, and walk, abandoned, until the morning sun remembers me.
