One Stone

The pit of me
Has been churning you
The thought 
The scent
The feel
Every detail

Memory 
The spur incising 
Tender tissue

This precious grit

What once was us
Condensed years hence 
A void 
To show for but 
One stone

A pearl



17.11.06

Composed for John Lawless'
"Two Word Challenge"

Submitted to Brian Strand's
A December Premiere Contest
