the canvas is the artist

marble said, "make me what I am 
and I will teach you the world." 

adaptation is the art of survival 
under otherwise nearly impossible 

conditions, thank you very such.
crater the desert to prove metal 

and yours will be mine and mine still 
bores a hole in the sand to say as much 

a prism of silence reflecting the clutch. 
hold on looser to the flame, my blacksmith, 
 
our swords will make finer art than any 
deserve to hear.
