Lend me your

stones

So that you may fly


So that I may

dear Mother

(The weight of dirt)


Grant me permission

to fight your wars

So that you may rest


So that I may

(The weight of dirt and thick, velvety blood)


Whisper to me

your troubles

So that you may...


So that I may...

(The weight of dirt, thick, velvety blood, and a thousand and one words)
