Another take on my theme of masks.
clay dried, kilned, hardened,
rigid, unmoving, caught
timeless,
statue unbroken,
but wait,
what’s this,
a crack.
tremor lines,
evolving,
spreading,
crouched statue separating from the man,
shards fall,
unmasked
revelation,
where spirit hidden,
essence unconcealed,
stood tall.
