Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
Amongst the hermit crabs
& scuttle crabs & rocks.
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
Red & vibrant in the light
& surf
pick me
I am beautiful.
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
Unique you were
in color
& glimmer
& shape
I tucked you away for safe keeping.
Surely your
beauty
is something to be celebrated.
Stashed away
in my suit case.
On my desk.
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
Ever so wise
you are beautiful.
You are something to be celebrated.
So why your celebration
struck
a lifeless blow?
Stowed away for only my enjoyment.
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
Red & vibrant in the light
unique you were
in color
& glimmer
& shape.
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last
You have lost you twinkle.
The only glimmer of your
intrigue
lies as a sad salty reminder.
You belong in the ocean.
Here you are mundane,
Little rock that spoke to me
in the tide pools of
Thursday Last.
