Worry Not, Miserable Marble
by Jonathan Bolton A frustrated, unyielding child cries to long-forgotten names, begging for purpose. A sympathetic wanderer of stars understands no such sorrows should be carried alone, and travels a stone’s throw across the cosmos. The empathetic nomad with hope, alleviates the child’s stresses, taking the little world into its arms, becoming its burdens, its monuments, its mountains, its oceans, nourishing the once-global body of the miserable marble, and silencing every voice on its surface. |
