Unnumbered, such remembrances of times,
I gave myself to petrify my heart;

It makes perfect sense to me. the minerals and salts replacing the organic parts of the wood, strange colors and different textures, but beautifully different and differently beautiful. years ago when I went to the Petrified Forest, I picked up chunks and bits to bring home with me – like walking on the shore of an alien sea.
