A Stones Throw
How close do you keep?
What matters, in deep
Who stands mingled
With roots, underneath
A stones throw away
Within arc of your sway
Who twirls tingled
On skin, everyday
Stacked cairns in sight
The marker of what’s right
Reminders of site singled
Each, sources of light
How close do you play
The stones thrown away?
Beloveds released, swingled
In vexing shades of gray
How close do you keep?
What matters, embraced
Conflicting truths—intermingled?
GemStones held of inner space
