The Reincarnation of Stone (Soundcloud Poetry Reading) - Poetry Inspired by Place

A city encircled by history,
Ouroboros in re-hewn stone,
Roman roads, Viking fjords,
horns of change fiercely blown

Soldiers build and farmers sow
reap the crops for leavened bread,
while settling, groaning ancient stone
draws memory from a silken thread

that stretches down an age-worn path
that encircles lay-lined memory,
until yet another new belief
tears down walls of hegemony.
