Dear Pet Rock,
Your colors are like mine
Dark, fading layers of rusted orange
Encircle your sparkling
And cloudy core.
Your most outward layer disfigured and worn
From acid words and extreme climates
Known to turn from hot to cold to hot
Again in a drop of boiling rain,
In the curvy smiles on their
Knowing faces.
I’m sorry I diverted parent’s
Detesting, blazing eyes to you
That burned those holes
Millimeter by painful millimeter.
My devoted hand will protect you.
Your infected core will be
Shined clear with refreshing peroxide,
Your red skin will be the
Radiant hue of a perpetual sunrise
Reemerging each dawn
For the lucky to see.
Dark, fading layers of rusted orange
Encircle your sparkling
And cloudy core.
Your most outward layer disfigured and worn
From acid words and extreme climates
Known to turn from hot to cold to hot
Again in a drop of boiling rain,
In the curvy smiles on their
Knowing faces.
I’m sorry I diverted parent’s
Detesting, blazing eyes to you
That burned those holes
Millimeter by painful millimeter.
My devoted hand will protect you.
Your infected core will be
Shined clear with refreshing peroxide,
Your red skin will be the
Radiant hue of a perpetual sunrise
Reemerging each dawn
For the lucky to see.
