photo & word > tumbled from shard to smooth

Tumbled from shard to smooth,
I have been surrounded by rocks
Rocks tumbled from the flow of water
Rocks tumbled from the dives off cliffs

Shrouded by cities
Smothered, yet distant
I wished for this

I wanted to be small, I wanted to be round, to be a soul, a tumbled rock with no edges

In the river, I feel it, the slow disintegration, dissolving of body into water

I roll and am rolled into myself

In the desert, I feel it, the quick drying, cracking of skin unnecessary

Emerged, I am small, able to navigate, able to be lost in depths
Emerged I am rounded, clearer, self
