Stone

Sitting
 sitting on the stone wall
 resting 
 on the construction of grey
 built 
 with ancient fragments 
 hewn 
 sedimentation hardened by existence
 grasping
 to alkaline cracks of mortar bond
 green 
 colony cushions of life clinging
 timeless 
 species enduring the changing world
 waiting 
 for the end when we return to stone.
