Stone Sophia


I would like to acknowledge Mr. Rourke and Mr. Rahl for the inspiration as well as the culprits, Ms. Rand and Mr. Goodkind.


I saw your essence in stone
so I opted to liberate it out-
with chisel and mallet and rasp;
with longing, sweat and blood.
In my mind, you are ephemeral,
as elusive and amorphous to touch.
You are the promise of ecstasy.
You are the silhouette of my dreams.
...My obsession, my aim.

...My Galatea.
