Heart Stone Of Where Town

The heart that beats in the giant white stone
on square of Where Town preserves memories
of every person who has lived and died
in the scope of its exquisite vibrations.
Every year the seniors at Where High School
spray paint the names of the people they love
on its skin, so the stone absorbs lost hopes
and dreams from the sweat of their clutching hands.
The girl who feels too much pressure to succeed
from her mother and teachers sits alone
on the stone every night in the moonlight
till it absorbs her suicidal thoughts.
The one-winged crow that finds a bloody knife
behind the elementary school struts proud
on the beating stone till it absorbs soul
of the murder victim whom none can find.
The girl who packed her things and ran away
from her boyfriend to tend her dying mother
leans on the stone and thinks about her eyes
till it absorbs the sorrow she forgot.
The angel God sends down with scroll of fire
waits by the stone for the prophet to come
but he stopped believing in God years ago
so the stone absorbs the angel herself.
The mother with two daughters every noon
leans against the stone while her children play
so the stone absorbs strange epiphanies
her ancestors dreamed for ten million years.
The one-winged crow returns with the smart phone
the grandmother dropped when she fell asleep
watching a movie about some long-dead king
whose crown the stone absorbs right at midnight.
The girl with copper-colored skin retrieves
the blank book she hid inside the white stone
which absorbs her stories she never writes
about her new life in America.
The old man who killed his childhood sweetheart
leans against the stone to watch gliding cars
that flash aching sorrow, but the white stone
does not absorb the guilt of his numb hate.
The oldest woman in the world descends
from spinning disk of light to break the stone,
releasing spirits of the living people
who all cry alone in their silent homes.
Returning from Fairyland with her husband,
the suicidal girl reveals to him
the mysterious Heart Stone of Where Town
so they make love on fragments of its truth.
