rock

rock has met this other rock
they are entering one another
as slowly as only rocks know how

– with exquisite geological pressure

this takes a million years

then they roll over
and grin
as rocks only know how
grinning like granite
eyes a-twinkling like pins and needles and stars

rock lets out
a breath of tired and quiet satisfaction

and in the passing of this rocky sigh
I am born
I live
I die
