For David the Great Warrior

the ancient desert bore heavy stones
Jacob resting for the night
placed one on another
and sacrificed to the one God

the ancient marked his path
one stone on another
for the follower
himself on return

I place one stone on another
in my green garden
nearly eternal, stones fall
my altar tumbles

David the great warrior
danced before the Lord
exposing himself
silent stones before the Lord
the Eternal spins silent unconscious
I love you
