Won't you help support DayPoems? Granite GrassesBy TomsPoems21st CenturyIf carbon's breath has any thought or care when stillness settles, grasses of the stone will sing the song. They're etched without a moan on granite faces, igneous aware of dates, the bookends, standing in the air. And hear the song of death sung by the life-prone music-men in choirs but each alone. The music only bares a stone-full prayer. In songs of granite grasses, simply listen as tuneful dead now whistle through the runes. Like dew in morning's glory can but glisten then dry and die in scorching afternoons; the babes upon the altars we will christen, as soon they'll grow the grass that sings their tunes.
