Damaged Face Sculpture by Tom GossThe eyes are empty of stone.
The worn rock is still unlocking curiosity
from the still-breathing.
His eroded nose holds the gesture
of fallen, broken rock
yet its darkness wasn't what
the artist intended:
only a nose-tip de constructed
to spite the long-reaching imagination
of his master's skillful hands.
