On Their Own Strange Way
On their own strange way
the named and dated march
as uniformed soldiers world
to a drum beat out in time
On their own strange way
the stones alone have taken umbrage
protestants against the clearance
petrified pickets in an unmoving ridge
On their own strange way
separated from flesh and bone
uprooted from eternal rest
restless hewn totems set to roam
‘Spirals’ the freshly finished complete set by yours truly #art
Missus Carbury stood like a smoking gargoyle at the top of the stairs, her long white pipe dripping from her cracked lower lip, “I’m not in the habit of letting guests into resident’s rooms,” she mumbled.
“I’d say so,” grunted Stone, his tired heavy feet making stonefall on each step as he passed her and headed upwards.
“I’ve buried four husbands you know!” croaked Missus Carbury as he moved up above her.
“Were they dead?” asked Stone in a weary voice.
