Was I Lichen?

There is the textured torment
of lost time
found within the ancient rocks.

Are you living?
A creature
or a collection of debris occupying space?
She asked this in twilight
as my body crawled on the wet stone.

Did I ever reply?
Or just slowly expand upon the boulder,
content in existence?
