The Rough Certainty
Touch the rough certainty
of cold ancient stone,
feel the sudden shock
of warm life bursting
into flight from the dark
of a deeper shadowed corner
that turns unliving stone
into something more vital
connecting back through
the warm pulse of blood
to times far too long ago
when hands just like these
took stone from the ground
to make something to last
for reasons we can never know
or even if the gods they made
were satisfied by it at all.
