STONES

By Sara Kandler








I bookend my days with the pop



of a tiny white powder sphere



toward the back of my throat



then a gush of cool water.






And you, I ask my friends, don’t you feel different?






How do you process so much time past



and balance on the slender edge



of an entirely new universe?






They appear stumped.






So I meander on, turning over smooth grey rocks in the garden in hope of a
hidden message






(my mom’s whimsical “hello” and “stay cool” stones giggle from my kitchen
windowsill)






and stare up at the mysteriously amber stars in the deep winter sky.
