The Sculpture
Hands begin
the work of mind-
the craft
and skill-
the ancient grind
of lost days
and lost ways inscribed
on hidden stone
revealed beneath the bone
within the tomb
where once was laid
the rugged vessel
perfect made
and wrapped in shroud....
so silent
still and loud.
Hands resume
the work of heart
to craft in skill
the whole and part-
the frame within
like eyes unseen-
a head and spleen
like rose in bloom-
feet uncrossed
and limbs long-
a sculpture made
in solemn room.
