How a Rock Is Cut

with water
steadily
slowly
even when there seems to be
far too much
rock
to water
pooling
cooling
freezing
evaporating
forming and reforming
puddle after puddle
after puddle
until a crack forms –
then widens –
…a pebble breaks off…
– and a slab slides aside –
So long as nothing blocks your persistence,
you arrive one day at solution caves and gaping gullies.
