Flowers on a bitterstone

The amber danced along the road,
sending shed-rows back a century,
and the bellwort pressing, finally pressing,
turned the pinyon's patient eye.

A woman placed her flowers down
upon the broken bitterstone,
and sings to sleep the man she made,
and too she dies a little more.

And while the forest harshly heaves,
to see that she should falter there,
the bellwort dying, finally dying,
finds no nuisance in her tears.

I found this text very enjoyable for its rhythm, the choice of words, the images created. As to the second stanza, I agree with Individuality's comment.
Welcome on the bay!

Individuality
a good piece, the second verse i think is the most powerful here, good imagery there used.
