This IS NOT A Stone (#49)

"I did not intend to be intimidated by a stone but I wasn't going to get off that easily. It was simply lying there too provocatively.

Just a big stone, you tell yourself, not a pyramid with secrets of sacred or mathmatical sorcery. A last molar in the open mouth of the desert, growing from out of the invisible stone jaw that is buried underneath.

But it doesn't work that way. Rationality loses from seduction, the blood colour, the harshness, the incongruous form."

Cees Nooteboom, Dutch author

Number 49 in the continuous series "This IS NOT A Stone"
