little stone

little stone in my belly
feed me something good--
devour clarity no more!
sinister little stone

the rest of time is passing
greedy in my belly--
alert
aware
stretched out

no room for truth in these walls
only comforting stories about how it wouldn't work anyways--
all the 'what if's' still trailing long and hard behind--
hard to force down but settles nicely after it goes

little stone in my belly
how long will you be here?--
what if it floods and too much water is swallowed?

no--
i think you are here to stay
company
weight
a tight hard memory in my belly
