La Piedra Prieta. Creekside Poet-Truth

Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam.

Memento pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris.

We place you dark one
Gently into Walnut Creek.
A ceremony, a ritual.
(These human acts can be good.)

Plunge into the soothing water.
Forget about differences which pain.
Rock …
Meld as one
In time, space, all dimensions.

Object-oriented ontogeny.

Become silt or clay.
And we to carbon dioxide
And methane.
Simple organics and inorganics.

Melt into the abyss, to chaos.

Or aggregate, amalgamate, metamorphosize.

Each could possibly be something better!

Certainly not worse.

  1. Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always useful to read through articles from other authors and use a little something from other websites.
