Three Bricks

What can be said about this brick?
Rounded smooth as marble
generations of fingers
absent minded caresses.

What can be said about this brick?
A baked blob of clay
scorched solid by a desert sun
a brick-man places one after another
in wooden frames.

What can be said of this brick?
Its edge a perfect angle
sacred geometry
balancing the weight of the building
on its shoulders
as Atlas carries the world.

What can be said of bricks, indeed!
