Written on paper, handwritten mess Swirls of cursive, great, fancy lines Another generation, or maybe two Won't see the art, can't read it's ink In three, the best, the paper lost
Maybe a scrap, burned, incinerated Thrown by a child, young woman's maybe Remnants of a past, great, great grandmama's fire Doesn't open the note A journal unread It's wasn't written in stone Only temporary, illusion art
A woman deserves, poet's heart To write in stone, a love that lasts Too heavy to throw Hard to burn Written in stone
The most precarious of words Linger and doubt, remove all that Not written in water, sand or spout Give to history, not shapeless grave stone Something to be passed Proven in stone
