When I was a pre-teen, I used to love to go to Grampa and Grammy K,s. Near the beach there was a huge rock that I loved to climb upon. This poem is a tribute to that rock:
The rock had been split
nearly in two,
leaving only a few small
pieces, much as
the saw leaves its
sawdust.
Perhaps years of
thawing and re-freezing
became the strength
of giant hands
pulling the small
crack into a neat
break.
Goliath's roar, or
maybe his distinct
sigh of accomplishment
could be heard
in the waves
crashing against the
other rocks
on the beach.
