Let me be granite
and I promise

how to take a shellacking.
Yes, I’ll risk sunburn.
Just let me be rock
wedged into the earth
or sea tidal waves
crashing over me
while I remain intact—
no split at the core,
more buffed than bruised.
Forget the pillar of salt.
I’ll look back
at the count of three
and you can turn me into stone.
Go on. I’m half rock already.
