you carve out a life
breath by breath
minute by minute
the marble scales
falling from your eyes
scattering footside
& you glance down
& say look at what
I built as if you held
the chisel & knew
what surprises lurked
beneath the stone
you carve out a life
breath by breath
minute by minute
the marble scales
falling from your eyes
scattering footside
& you glance down
& say look at what
I built as if you held
the chisel & knew
what surprises lurked
beneath the stone
