Within Statues Poem by Riano Harp

Within Statues

Rating: 0.5


Confined within these bleeding statues
That are grazed with oozing crimson,
Once a dull silver but made duller by growth
Darkness compresses all bones within to slavery
And they tighten, as do I;
Mirrors entwined within the life of their flesh
Their limestone veil birthed by each seeing breath,
All I see in these statues is myself,
For I am a statue and still,
I cannot see…or breath.
