HONT–
TALES OF STONE AND WATER
Drink from the well
they said
particles
of healing salines
one for the eye
and one for the host
through the rocks
Inside
a collapsed volcano
they caste shadows
of golden ancestors
when you liquify
where do the bones go ?
the past is fragmented
to each
tear
a ruin of chalcopyrite
mirroring
a turmoil future
staring back at you
from the clear water of the well
rooting
below the soil
the sacred deposits
of charcoal and nacre
you become
a drop
you become a stone
if everything
evaporates
where do your bones go?
