Stone
Roughly triangular
No side longer
Than my little finger
Hidden in hand
Tightly held
Edges smoothed by mountain stream
Bllack shadows leach from base
Residues of red indicate strata
Mere fragment
Of larger stone
Rock
Boulder
Cliff
Mountain
Planet
How long has it been petrified?
Changing
From soft
To hard
As a rock
Yesterday, I was told that a fragment of jelly from my retina had broken free and is now floating around creating veils of semi opaque shadows in my left eye
I was petrified
Today
I feel boulder

I loved this, Carolyn, but was very sorry to hear about your eye. How are you?

All ok thanks, there is an issue but not as bad as thought. Mildly amused that I put a head torch on and made shadows- a bit like an optician.
