"Each stone its shape
each shape its weight
each weight its value
in my garden as I dig them up
for Spring planting,
and I say, lifting one at a time,
there is joy here
in being able to handle
so many meaningful
differences"
Each stone, in D.Ignatow, Whisper to the Earth; New poems, Little Brown&co., Boston-Toronto, 1981
