'twas the stone of a tomb
standing upright in the field
among the others standing tall
'twas simply a stone
looking back to the road
in the chilly eve of the Fall
couldn't have been
but the cast of a shadow
nothing else at all
couldn't have been
but merely an illusion
a trick to my eyes befall
there again it wasn't
quite the same color
as the rest of the sprawl
then again it didn't
reflect the sun as
the other stones in the Fall
pray, it also was
a shadow where there
wasn't a tree or a wall
pray, it was as well
a mist of a figure
its appearance its call
so perhaps it was
something other than stone
among the others standing tall
perhaps it might have been
something else entirely
looking back in the eve of the Fall
