Gregor Impending

Powerful, these blitzing beams -
Scorching rays that gleam 
Upon raging surf.

Collision of wave and rock -
Resounding, hissing spray:
The fireworks of the sea. 

These waves halt for no one. 
I am a speck...
A miniscule spot of corroded sand 
Nestled within the endless shore.

But that I were a slab of stone -
Fiercely contesting the tide:
Foam and algae markers of will. 

Odysseus strings his fatal bow 
While I await my metamorphosis:
Where is Kafka when you need him?
