Statuary (2013)

She sits and stares and nobody there 
Is the feel that she gets 
Coming in on the air 
From the muster of whispers 
Who cluster around 
And she sits like a stone on the ground

But she gathers up her trinkets 
Sets each one in its place 
And each one has a meaning 
Never written on her face

She knows it without knowing 
They reveal her full inside 
She shows it without showing 
There for anyone to find

She sits and stares and nobody there 
That’s what they all say 
Crowding round unaware 
But her trinkets are standing 
They point to her soul 
One day they will show that she’s whole
