lifting a pebble
one may be surprised to find
another pebble
and a pebble is a pebble
and it's there - it's a pebble
and there's another pebble
a small pebble
a big pebble
a pebble that is wet
a pebble next to it
(the smallest pebble)
also wet
and you lift it
and inside it
you once find a flower
and you listen to it -
the sound of dying
memories
of Masks
and little things
of rain
of stars we can't quite see -
the untimely manifestation
of shadows left
by pebbles on pebbles
when a pebble lifts a pebble.
