there is a grain of sand

that was part of a pebble

there is a pebble

that was part of a stone

there is a stone

that was part of boulder

there is a boulder

that was part of this great earth

every rock that ever was

every rock that ever is

every rock that ever will be

is a broken bone

not a one is whole

not a one is complete

and all the crushed and corrupt

yearns for the unbreaking

and every shattered image

desires an end to the aching

while I and we and they

seek the same healing salve

cry – not tomorrow, nor yesterday

but today today today!
