Thom Moon Bird, WordsFlow's favourite guest workshopper, is a prolific poet and has given me carte blanche to disseminate any of his pieces that particularly take my fancy. This one does!
THE SILENT STONES ARE TALKING
they are rich in deserts
if we could leave them alone,they would sleep
but we dig and drill,make wars and borders
claim paper title over a rock space
use rocks as forts and weapons
wage war for shiny rocks(blood diamonds)
(Nigeria's gas burns since 1965
China's oil seas poison rivers)
Leave the desert to dream.Magnets inside have a purpose
apart from gold and oil and opals and diamonds
Rock has a meditation too.Let it ignore you.
Move on to scissors.
