The Stones Stand Cold

Sisyphus is tired.

Too clever by half, inevitably

He draws the gods' revenge.


Things are the way they are

For a reason.

But he never learns.


Teachers teach.

And they all agree

A quiet colloquy may be desired, maybe needed.


But the fire calls them

To their calling

And they go.


The stones stand cold

As he waits,

Angry and alone.


And the gods have their revenge.
