Southern Memos, IV - Taking decisions

Southern Memos, IV - Choices


Somewhere in the hills about
the village, heading south
a rock has been growing every morning
for the past 16 years
developing a sense of direction
a notion
of memory and the will to
make irrelevant but regular
decisions
become refined
actions

With
a pit at the center where one
would expect centuries of wind
deposits ending their vulnerable
existence
this rock cages
an elegant womb – inside
which flowers prepare their
birth
and bloom during dreams

So often I walked through
failing to see how
different
this rock was.
