the moon is dark
the wind is high
i'm stuck, inert
a stone on a stump
a hollow stone
if you break me
only dust will fall out
a thin, dry dust
the sky changes
minute to minute
bright, then dim,
glowering
far away
the ground shakes
farther, rivers rise
over houses and lanes
i set down words
meaningless tokens
i am an empty stone
i mark my own grave
