Stone Face Rock
by Adam C. Lambert
The Stone Face is pure in early
November after the terse turned
leaves have collapsed below its bust
and all within eyeshot is the
color of a cooling cigar tip.
I wonder if the Cherokee
chipped it away for arrow sharps
or if it was celestial design
for the amusement of
tobacco farmers. Maybe they
were wrong to tunnel through it so
coal could leave St. Charles and smoke
its way towards Dryden shaking my
house and rippling the winter water
running alongside of it to
Appalachia, where it breaks to
leave its load behind.
