"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"

Stonemason

Show me where this awkward stone
fits into the perfect wall
I have worked so hard to build

Show me how to use its heaviness
in a way that won't cause the edifice
to crumble into a pile of ruin

Show me where to chip away
the stubborn blockages
so that it can be a useful thing

Show me how, when the rough rocks
are placed amongst the smooth,
it strengthens the whole
