Karst [Free Verse]

Dissolving mountains.

Craggy & rugged outside.
Stone pock-marked & pitted,
Deformed natural bonsai
growing out of the cliff.

Hollow on the inside.
Amorphous caves tunnel
under those rocky tops,
Smooth lumpy cave floors
and walls,
Rough & gritty stalactites
overhead.

How long does it take to dissolve
a mountain?
