The Stones




janine canan





Along the beach stones,
exposed by the retreating tide,
greet me like friends from long ago.

And I bend to gather
eggs, mounds, ovals, crescents
smoothed by life in the tumbling sea.

Some broken by a catastrophic blow
reveal inside a glittering gold.
As I walk the studded shore

they pound in my loving hand --
heartbeats of the crumbling earth
I shall one day let go.
