Monologue of a Rock

ordinary clouds on a thursday
 afternoon overhead.  

All is shaded and gray.  


 old testament in my skin.
 
 i was there you know.

  when calcium became bone 
and marrow became life.

 now the currents in the sea 
have never swayed me.

 yet still my kidneys unravel such
strange sands.

 and the shores have all become
 my diciples.
