Room
before
the stone
is laid
the earth
makes room
a square room
without ceiling
window or door
where rays of light
warm it
by day
the moon
by night
in a cycle season
of return
much like the rain
falling
from the sky
the room is filled
with drops
and when the living leave
and the day ends
and begins again
there are butterflies
that float across the flowers
their wings brushed
with sunlight
