Ocean Rock
30 January 2016
Off the eastern coast of New Zealand’s South Island
Ocean Rock
The ocean rock withstands the smashing wavesThat spray and scatter breakers into foamIn vain assault. The stone stands steadfast. NoMere billow can disturb its crags and caves.(A photo, printed glossy triple-sizeAdorned with motivation – “Know your mind!”Or “Individuality” – could findA home before indifferent classroom eyes.)
The stone itself does not – no, cannot – thinkHow vast the sea behind the puny sprayThat strokes its sides, nor does it shrinkBefore the patient aeons, has no wayTo know the sand it rules is but the smearOf mighty boulders from another year.
