Fossilized
oh scorching words
and sublime phrases
cut within the quick of rock
lay the sharpness
of the wind and rain
upon the surfaced sandstone
carve a willful message
with granular punctuation
across the rough rock
settle me within the stone
cover me with sediment
fossilize me—remember me
for I walked upon your skin
and left my dreams
for you to finish
