Doubt
Fourth pillar
On the eight marble steps
Hidden high
Etched
If you lean against it
Marks your clothes like chalk
Happiness is shrinking
Out of sight
It's not impossible though
Chisel split
Sputtering cloud
Shaping my heart
I'm not fully formed
Yet I emerge
There's an awe-inspiring
There's an awe-inspiring sense of triumph and ascension in this highly symbolic and intriguing work of art. I read it three times because I loved the poetic gymnastics and the surreal brilliance of it. Amazing!
