STRAHAN CONTINUITY Not even stone But only the wind And the water that flows Only the breath That passes In and out Only the liquid That makes our flesh Less than stone more Bone and stone Detritus of fire The fury of flesh The furious earth Cores of fire Cores of fire Fire in the flesh That shrivels and weeps Fire in the rocks That melt and flow The fire that wakes And sleeps wakes And sleeps. Water that weeps From stones Wears the bones From the old land Fills the veins Of the old earth And the new flesh Repeatable flesh That never repeats That weeps From the bones is Weaker/stronger Briefer/longer Windblown pages A story paper boat In a swift stream The last is not The story in stone Words that have Forgotten meanings The last is not The lying bones The last remains In wind and flow Water and fire Molten suns And the sons of man
