Prayer Circle

Six pillars in a circle
prosaic stones etched by time
its passage witnessed
by shadows intertwined
casting lines of light,
lines of darkness
across her fractured face

an eye, but no expression
a mouth, but no sound

Solitary woman standing centered,
among pillars of voices
rising in unison to an unknown god

Her primitive spirit
screams
inside her clasped lips

Dear Reader...the intended definition of "prosaic" in this poem is "dull".
