The Shell And The Rock Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio

The Shell And The Rock



"Let me rest
on your stones",
the old shell said
to the unexpected rock,
"because the angry sea
tonight
doesn't grant peace."
"Do rest, shell",
the rock answered,
"but as a present
you must leave me your house".
"Then I will leave you, rock",
the shell replied,
"because I will die
of tiredness
but without a home
I would die before".
