The Stonecutter (Rondel)


a migrant from a foreign land

he is a master of his trade

with photos of the art he’d made

arriving with his tools in hand

 

though not the job that he had planned

he used his skills to just get paid

a migrant from a foreign land

he is a master of his trade

 

the foreman hands down his command

for now the sculptor’s dreams delayed

while carving names on stones displayed

on someone’s grave the stone will stand

a migrant from a foreign land
