Metamorphosis

My body is stiff like a rock on the shore pummeled by the 
waves tide in and tide out. 
The elements erode me into 
smaller pieces 
of myself and scatter them on the wind -- 
I float through the air 
weightless, carefree 
I am set down somewhere new. 

Begin again. 
The world piles on the pressure and I 
shift and change becoming solid and sparkling with 
deep foundations. 

--

Tonight I'm exhausted. Tiredness: deep-in-the-bones I feel like I'm drowning as I keep yawning for oxygen. 
So, naturally, here's a geology poem. 

Happy Friday!

Bss,

Marybeth
