2-19 Stone Wept

in the night,
when all the others,
had gone to sleep,
Stone crept into my stomach,
and wept,

for the heart  of  the wolf boy crying,
alone, alone, alone,
in the house of September
in the house of his home,
alone, alone, alone,
me, him, and Stone.

for the boys of the salt,
and the  boy of the sugar, crying,
alone, alone, alone,
in the house of the wingless and fallen,
in the house of their ageless god,
alone, alone, alone,
me, them, and Stone.

for the man who found his,
soul lost to his lover crying,
alone, alone, alone,
in the house of the raven's eye,
in the house of his hungry moon
alone, alone, alone,
me, us, and Stone.

in the night,
when all the others,
had gone to sleep,
Stone crept into my stomach,
and wept

alone, alone, alone,
me and Stone.
