cantera verde

grammar of away

a courtyard with arches and a cross in the middle

i wait, walk
where she moves
with me inside her
& listen
to her music, this city
built of stone thrown
from fire, then greened
in the life of what waits
airborne and land-bound
before and after burn & fall
to carry

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.

      1. It never fails to amaze, how often such “mistakes” can be illuminating. : )
