A cathedral small enough  
to fit in a pocket.

Stone remembers  
what buildings imitate.

Pressure made this first.

Heat.

Time folding minerals  
into quiet architecture.

No choir.  
No altar.

Just gravity  
holding the arches together.

The hand closes around it.

And for a moment  
the mountain travels  
with the body.
