Metamorphism
He is beautiful and still,
untouched within,
a mountainside in December,
an estuary at dawn.
I sat in his cove
knapping flint to ax,
syllables to lead --
an assault on his granite-face.
I stood on his embankment,
hurling stone
after stone
and did not break his surface.
It will take a disaster,
an excavation team,
a dam-fissure
or a Judas-kiss
to know, to show him,
to see the shift in texture,
or the trace footprints
I’ve left behind.
