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
