Through block of clay or lump of rock
Marble slab or granite stone
The chiseller’s hard at work
Painstakingly knocking
Chipping
Tapping and smoothing
Developing a head, a body, a humanoid
Stark eyes
Cold skin
Lifeless, yet full of life
Timeless, yet full of time also
But created
From the Earth
By a being of the Earth
For the Earth
Forever
