Heaving Mountains on Still Days
When time lapses
into a single
collapsed moment ..
And the world
stands cautious for
a microsecond ..
I might find myself
wondering
if any of these small,
smooth, polished
stones and pebbles
you once gave to me
are likely to
ripple any less when
tossed into some
vast ocean than let’s
just say, their much
greater counterparts,
in some iconic
fountain or another
somewhere ..
Not to mention all
these huge and much
heavier mountains,
I am still left here to wield ..
