Stone

Stone

A Poem by Janus
"

Inspired by the cryptic and beautiful Medway Megaliths.

"
My memory belongs to

that hill, now.


Where depressed,

opposite that ominous roar

a silent stone waits.


For what is a mystery.


The blacksmith

hammers the truth

from Iron.


A drama of fire, and strength.

bent to his will

the grey iron complies.


But from Stone, speckled

moss-green and mute witness to

rain valleys, we yield nothing.


Those indents, that gutter cut

swiftly into its matter,

utters no secret.


And so, soundlessly it waits,

sunk in millennial earth,

the erratic puzzle.
