Small Stone : 8

the little girl's hair
hangs in a question mark;
I cannot answer

Small Stone : 7

Small Stone: 6

The two year old child carefully picks up each bead he spilt in his sister's room; the blue ones first.

Small Stone: 5

Three clocks tick when stood at the threshold of the home, one, two, three, none of them in time.

Rose Red

My favourite fairytale.

Small Stone : 4

piranha fish thrash beneath a floating wooden house
a man on television laments the child who fell into the water
he will not say his name
