an ammonite is not a member of a biblical tribe

your yellow room
blue now
your face touches mine
briefly
your child against your body
a table between us
an unlit candle
dried flowers and grass
and the ammonite:
you me
slipping on green rocks
laughing in an east wind
blinded sometimes by hair
and horizontal rain
disturbing sea birds
and shale
revealing life embossed on limestone
and now radio voices
filling the spaces
in an absence of words
a table between us
dried flowers and grass
and your face touches mine
briefly
your child against your body
you watch from the door as i leave
breath turned to stone
in my hand
