speaking to the rocks

in deep, detailed conservations,
over many years, decades,
in touching, in caresses,
speaking to the rocks
the mosses, the others,
a community meeting, sharing,
deeply, personal lives…
 
in time scales we cannot see,
ancient citizens, moving,
a conversation with rock,
with water, with the soil,
with the earth, where they are,
living intimate, infinite lives…
