A Stone So Big You Could Live in It

Large
It happens in the woods
A laugh just pops out
It happens with a stone so big you could live in it
Round mounds of soil and stone
Perfectly dressed in radiant moss
Blaze of bees around a single blooming branch
Path so quiet one foot answers the other
Charred ashes by Jericho Bay
Blue dots on trees lining the trail
Sudden sweetness of it
Someone was here before you
Didn’t want you to get lost
Thank you
Someone
Thank you
Blue.
