Statue

Whether her features were carved by Nature’s

Forces or an artist’s steady hand,

She was undeniably high status.

She was a masterpiece in a high-end

Museum, a statue chiseled out of marble,

To be admired but not touched.

Her face was hard

Rock yet smoothed by the persistent

Pressure she experienced.

With her hands folded in her lap

Her eyelashes laying softly against her cheeks.

She lay cold and still in the casket.
