a marble statue carved of stone  
fluttery etches in malachite graves
sweet fertility frozen once roamed
this marble statue a beloved rave

wisps of cloth transits deposits stone flesh
slivers of cloth entails upon breath
sleek shoulders rising abreast
hence majestic tragedy rendered afresh  

ivory veins, a ripples of waves
cracked splintered  hopes endeared in stone
lost imaginations wandered restlessly, now shaved
for historical miracles etched forever away
