lyrics

the smell of rain on stones
(poem © 2022 Arthur Durkee)


waves in the garden
ripples in raked sand

ripple-scans preserved
in ancient quartzite

bound half-melted, folded
under ancient heavy seas

now a boulder
in the garden

chosen for dynamic shape
sail raised to navigate sand sea

ripples in dry wake surround it
as an island risen from the sea
