There is no place I am not

I spent some time looking for the meaning of three placed stones in a desert. I did my research on trail markers and cairns, the ancient practice of leaving stones to mark our comings and goings. I believe it is more simple than that. No burning bush, but three stones, one placed on one placed on one in a desolate place. No place I am not.

It is night
I dream myself
In the middle of a desert,
Sand
As far as the eye can see.
There is me
And sand
And three stones,
One set upon one set upon one.
Stones placed
In the middle of the desert,
One upon one upon one
And me
There is no place
I am not,
He says,
She says.
One in three,
Sand as far
As the eye can see
Three placed stones.
No place I am not.
