Magpie Tales 142: Face Of Stone




















face of stone 



none may claim the stone

of crevassed history; of 

fire and ice, sun and moonscape.

stone holds all memory, 

conjures up igneous lust 

for mounds of androgyny 

on an untouched virgin grail.

    igneous lust' which I first misread and 'ingenious' lol.
