- go
ahead,
- grow,
- take a
chance on me
- when
you find yourself being dragged
- into
confessing the stones you did not - #
- - throw
from the quarry
- into
the yards of priests,
- because
I saw you.
- I did
it.
- those
stones were unpolished projectiles
- that
made heavy my right hand
- as I
coiled my torso—
-
- you
turned your back
-
- —and
I uncoiled like a twisted antique toy,
- slung
those quarry stones
- over
the fence
- as I
guessed
- at how
far away they would land
- before
you were caught.
