Sonnet
Jan. 17, 2002 ] 1:51 AM
Grounded beneath stony earth,
Where love grows in shallow birth,
And old tears lie like disquiet eyes
And stones speak naught, but shallow lies,

Sleeps men�s hearts dusty and worn;
The shards of well-torn fragments,
Of men�s pride and women�s scorn.

I had a heart like this once,
And he gave another like to me.
Tarnished bell-silver and earth-brown.

I cracked him as he cracked me.
I mended as he mended fine.
...So I love him, as he loves me.
...And nothing is said about old stones and brine...
