The Watchful

I am like a moss
On the centennial roofing slate.
Growing thicker and older,
Making no flowers or berries -
A watchful.

Prickly moths, pine cones,
needles, bird droppings
Are diamonds stuck in my hair.

the moon is cradling in the web
and on my eyes the falling stars
are breathing calmly.

I let the storms and rains to slake
my thirst and longing.
I only watch and listen.

Sometimes they send me
the shaft of sparks from a chimney
And I smile softly, thinking to myself

it is too beautiful to bear!
