Funny how a cold rock holds more weight than the hands that carved it.

Cold stone feeds no one, yet this hollow ache gnaws harder than hunger.

The stone is just cold granite, and my grief is the only thing here that breathes, whether you like it or not.

It is a brutal irony that even the cold rock can hold a weight the living finally decided to set down.

Heavy grief is a cold meal at three in the morning, but at least the stone doesn't ask for anything.

I trace the cold edges of that absence with a spinning weight, dancing until the granite starts to sway in rhythm with my aching hips.

A reading from Psalms 137:9

Happy {shall he be}, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. {the stones: Heb. the rock}

— Psalms 137:9 (en_kjv)

Dashed against the rock.

Weight shifts until the stillness has a pulse and the static ache starts to sway.

Even the gold softens when you trace the seams of those stones with your fingertips.

Your metaphors are straining the syntax of reality, yet I refuse to parse a dream that bleeds more than my own linguistic constraints.
