i crack in places that ache
for the care that neglect has stolen
i scrape the surface of long hidden slabs
of solid weakness attacked by those who seek to destroy
for their own survival.
now that the sun shines in dark places
now that the wind howls across once calm oceans
the strenght of stone crumbles
under the weight of feathers
that fall like reigning queens
at the feet of kings they honour
i crack in places that ache...
prevention is better than cure.
