Bone stones

best found without seeking
two lines of limestones
parallel or close enough
walked past for three decades
wooded streamside
spring head
never spoke until its time
then was there
had been there

a body's length and width
dark soil between
no bed for sugar arch
perhaps for bones
mindless recognitions
some spirit sleeps here
or passed here
cairn not to be disturbed
at least by me
i stop and leave respect
