1 " Stone Seeking Warmth Look, it's usually not a good ideato think seriously about me.I've been known to give othersa hard time. I've had wives and lovers—trust that I know a little about tryingto remain whole while livinga divided life. I don't easily open up.If you come to me, come to meso warned. I am smooth and grayish.It's possible my soul is made of schist.But if you are not dissuaded by now,well, my door is ajar. I don't careif you're in collusion with the wind.I wouldn't mind being diminishedone caress at a time. Come in,there's nothing here but solitudeand me. I like to keep the house clean. "
