Within this statue I am in life
There is a life of me
Beneath the surface
Beneath the flesh and bones
Chipping away
Cutting
Moulding
Patching
Bandaging and healing
Removing and adding,
A master sculpture within this statue
Constantly chipping
Removing
Adding
Refining
Cursing when a renovation done wrong
Ooohing and ahhhing when something works
And all seems to become right
Within this statue
This work of art
I am
You are
We are.
