Chapter 2: Shouldering the Burden
Can Carry
(written for sculpture by Bonnie Morrissey)
She can carry this weight of stone.
She is no martyr. Willing under
bowed head and sinewed limbs,
a heart’s desire to be of service.
Stone of weight is stone of gaze.
Salt of earth is salt of eye.
Eye of storm is eye of vision.
Now we are unmaking the world.
Earth’s tremor in her snaky locks,
she carries the ruin she sees,
not in despair, but in devotion.
She speaks inside her silence.
