13,566. AMALGAMATE

ALMALGAMATE
And at  the mineshaft the
men were gathering agate.
I never got the connection,
If any. My mind was onto
other things by then : items
of no less import. I watched
the smashing crane bring
down its force on rock. I
watched trees fall. Thinking
of little but silence, for which
I divinely wished.
-
What to do but shrug. There
is no rare, Shakespearean mass
for me to plug; bringing down
rain from skies on high; metal
fragments, maybe, from Heaven.
Some get the gist, some don't.
