Dead Stone

Rating: 5.0


DEAD STONE

There is no sound like a dead
stone falling into
a dead well, falling into a season
of pollen floating where pilgrims dip
up muddled remedies:
plasters for boils
and open sores, holy water
for curing insanity;
new life in springs percolating
up through a whirlpool of dead matter,
such is the secret life of believers
