Standing Truth of My Birth

Type that reads “This is the part of me that comes from you.”

Need pulls deep
It hurts to create
Fingers sweeping and building

Layer by layer
Cutting through and finding new
Each stroke finds its mark
Standing truth of my birth
This is the part of me that comes from you.

The more I push
The harder it trails my steps
I am because you are

your mark on creation burned into my flesh
The sculpture and the sculptor, both broken and driven forward.
