 Some Strange Stone
One full day blustery
Windswept and cold Black lines of myth
Cross-lined hands In lives of the earth
Hazard a hold A dream of wild horses
With skin and flesh Songs from a simple hearth
And life and bone One cross-lined hand
On a speckled facet of Endeavors to comprehend
Some Strange Stone A day alone with
Some Small Stone

Hailing from land and sea

A maze of history
Passage of desiny:
Some Strange Stone
 Among the strange stones of Monte Pellegrino, Palermo, Sicily.
Photographs taken near the sanctuary shrine of Santa Rosalia, hermit of Palermo, depicted
often with her crown of roses, lily, rose, skull and pilgrim’s staff.
The Mountain, previously known as Erkta is also affiliated with the Phoenician Goddess
Tanit, related with fertility, love, pleasure, good luck, messengers and the moon.
In her associated symbol an equilateral triangle, a horizontal line and a disk are
combined, in such a way as roughly could be seen to represent a human figure.
