Stoney Valentine

Three stones convene
On a sunny table
When a thought walks into the room
 
The stones converse like corpses
Or buried treasure silence
Holding their wrists
 
They were only children
When they had to start out
Not knowing where they were going
 
Burning lifeboats and nights
Under icy stars
Like shepherds without a sheep
 
All for the Bethlehem of America
Or to pay their taxes
To some greedy king
