In the dark I sculpt you with longing.

I create you from delusion.

From ashes and wind and water.

From fog and nothingness.

 

I sculpt a face without a face.

I sculpt a body without curves.

I see darkness in your hair.

I can wait for old age in her.

I carve reliefs and mountains and a stream.

The vortex that I blink arises.

I sculpt you in the dark with anxiety.

I make you out of betrayal.

From the thorn in the eye and the knife in the back.

From fog and nothingness.

 

I sculpt a face without a face.

I sculpt a body without curves.
