about her face and figure
and the sculptor's mood, would
too much wine in the forum show?
She couldn't know that centuries
later, she would still be a swirl
of wind in stone, even copied
continents away. No need to fret
over touching up the kohl, her eyes
were owned by elements long ago.
Just a defiant posture, a soft shoulder
supporting his broad chest, nothing
more to tell us why she survives.
