stevencudahy, 
stones worn smooth by waves
warmed by sun
we build small settlements
for scuttling thingsbut you are no rock
to be worn to be ground
to paperweight or doorstop
or safe remembranceif i could replace your broken spines
with something as worthwhile -
but the wild is once and done
and it would insult youi speak carelessly
uncover your edge for a cutting moment
only not careless but desperate
for any kind of traction#SmallPoems #Poetry #Writing #MastoPrompt 5 May 2024 - preserve.
