She is stone
Made of sand and grit
She’s weathered the extreme heat of the kiln
Temperatures predicted for the future
Devastate her visions of what is to come
But her hope has more grit
Than 10,000 suns
Because. Why not? She’s stone.
And half-way clean.

Devastate her visions of what is to come
But her hope has more grit”
