National Poetry Writing Month 2026, day 16: Cathedral Rock

Cathedral Rock

If you hear organ music

It is your imagination.

If you feel a vorticular hug

It is marketing.

If, though, you feel you are receiving

A message

When you look silently at this rock array…

You are.

You may commune if you wish and are capable.

You are neither welcome nor unwelcome.

The rest of the message

Is an adjustment of your importance.
