A line cast, a hope followedThursday, September 08, 2005
After two weeks there are finally some words.
Gentle ones. Tentative and sad and kind.
Many of which are mine.
This pile of rocks
Knocked down, kicked and scattered wide
Now to pick carefully which ones
To replace on the cairn.
I suppose it depends
Are we marking tomb or boundary?
But for now, the smoother stones are a good place to start.
Time will tell which others to bring.
