Stones divide and multiply
in walls around the world
dry or mortared matched
and meshed mosaic fences
of blend and fit and pattern
good stone masons find
each stone’s mate and their family
housing them above or below
either side of their neighbours
wall’s speak sand or granite
lime or marble articulate
concrete inspires math and art
compelled to wall
contemporaries intuit
all we own
prettily and precisely defined.
