crumble
a person of quarried stone
who is a block
solid gray mineral
can’t be carved easily
but conceals inner rock
forged by time in the Earth
which sculpted with great art
can thread a needle
into a light, flexible thing
yet green and black organisms
bacteria and plant life
settle on seeming permanent
weather-pocked stone
where as ever, transformation
wears away at essence
erodes and abrades
to freeze, thaw, wind-rake
mass into smaller and weaker
pieces
eventually to crumble
the individual
