The truth revealed on a hillside

Terracing

Knowing you will search in me for truth,
I shield my eyes, plant stones
To frame the earth,
As earth will frame my bones.

Such labor is not pleasing:
I cannot bury earth or words.
Your question latent, seizing:
What is it that you want? you ask.

I answer:
Nothing.
Everything.
