Statue

Chisel methodically erases

the amorphous revealing

the shape of his feelings

ravishing grace

of the gleaming marble statue

strewn ideas around its perfection

but how can he tattoo his scars

onto the statue’s face

his sighs colored red

not for their robe of sadness

a man already spent

can only leave the statue

in the embrace of the winds

and of the cleansing rains
