You once were a body
of dirt and tiny roots,
grub worms and cicadas.
Sometime in the night
you turned to grey stone
and started to question
the idea of mobility.
You forgot that erosion
is a rock’s sure-fire ticket
to a beachside retreat
someplace nice and warm.
It took only 10,
000 years and 1,
000,000,000 raindrops
to remind you.
Now you enjoy
frozen piña coladas
in a body of light,
a body prone to catch fire
given prolonged exposure,
a body prone to move faster
than anything else you’ve known.
