Marble

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!
