I'm going with @agmoore2, a very rich poem. In it there is a threat, a threat of more erosion, shibui. The boulders will be the next to go, but they placidly await their fate while doing their duty, karumi. I get a feel of destiny in this haiku, inevitability, the present moment fixed in eternal time, sabi and mono no aware. The boulders stand together though, they are not alone, giving the whole work a feel of shiori. Although it was not hard for me to know which is my favorite this time, I have to say that the works submitted this time are excellent!
