I embrace rock
tightly sink
into the grace
of my breast’s softness
I overflow its silence
like a stream’s mellow flow
over stubborn boulders
my fleshly passions flood
its unyielding stillness
till my arms’ caress
sculpt it into form
persuades it into feeling
and in the perpetuity
of its solidity
and stoniness of its granite
unchanged by time
the self I’m losing etches deeply
a forever image
cast in rock
