I had this thought-
that i have felt the breath of these breathing stones,
heard their heart beating like it was my own,
felt them turn, their eyes looking back at me,
I had this thought-
that they  will still be here long after the flood
long after I am gone,
that other eyes and other hearts
will feel their breath and hear the words I felt
and these words now ashes will linger on in their blood,
the blood of stone, the flesh of stone, the living stone breathes on.
[Prague 2014]
