Secrets Of Bedrock. Poem by Fay Slimm

Striated solid bulk
...............................emitting power,
Your dark streaks dominate
................... lone rock statements.

Along this beach.
....................... slated layers tower
Into immovable shapes
..................................... which, lately
Washed, now glisten.
........Time-sliced, wet and exposed.

Your laminate shelves
....................have braced against all
Raw sea-moods.
......... Slivered now, in your knowing
You bed deeper,
...................... thus you will never fall.

'Tho your walls vibrate,
..................... your face stays, sagely
Evoking stone-solid form
................................ which is ageless.
