Living Statue
August 30, 2014
Dead as death
Looks but can't see
Frozen in time
What could it be?
Always cold but always hot
Listens but cannot hear
No emotins does it feel
And yet it is near
Tries but can't move
Thinks but can't speak
It's face fixed on one thing
Feet on floorboards creating a creak
Coming nearer
What could it be
A wall or glass shatters
And the living statue is free
