earth wind and fire
men at work with picks & shovels
unseen in the cemetery
some working ditches
others tape-measuring rectangular
holes in the ground
the youngest and strongest
roll boulders from river’s bank
straight up to monks and artisans
stationed atop copperhill
chisels and files and sandpaper
further refine godly physiques
resurrecting new life from the fire
that never stops burning
december two thousand seventeen

Such an enchanting and visual piece.
Thank you very much.
I felt like it was Sisyphus at work
I did too actually…
