How could you? <br />I was waving goodbye in that photo <br />You were snapping it <br />A sapling I was <br />And cried my eyes out when I saw it <br />Somehow we were actually parting <br /> <br />Then you really left me <br />And I bent over crushed at coffinside <br />Really feeling the world firsthand <br />What the shattered rocks shattered for <br /> <br />Then the stones reached out <br />Hands to me <br />Teaching me how to dwell <br />Safely even in some tumble of rubbish <br />Like and like can attract <br />-No matter what the science teacher says- <br />Everything that can accrete will accrete <br />My wife and I suffered the rest together <br />Now we are dying of loneliness<br /><br />Stan Petrovich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/boy-amid-a-scattering-of-stones/
