The Short Poem In Which I Grapple With a Rock

i wrestled it and clung to it

down many flights of stairs

like a limpet as it softly spun

through howling cosmic airs

.

at the bottom of the sea

i thought i'd ground it into dust

but it buoyed me up and shook me off

with wild volcanic thrust.

.

i struck out like a tiger

and i grasped a gritty crag

and the boulder bounded on

my body rippling like a flag

.

the one i was the who i am

that unobtrusive mote

was next to not existing

ere the day this stone first smote
