Lying on the sea shore
A piece of sea-worn old sea shore
Once mud, alive with ancient bivalves
A productive bed
Now a shell cemetery
A jumble of interlocking curves and spirals in banded cross-section
Silky smooth sedimentary rock
With the shades of grey of original mud
It fits in my palm
The roughly oval shape of an egg that’s been sat upon
