by Joanna Gale

my name is Sorrow i am
old i am young i am drenched
in the sweat of rain forest pain
the countless island bones drum-up
hand-cupped to my head weeping 
rivers strain through fingers 
bent together tight
in lotus position  i rock 
your touches of sadness seeping
through my hunchback muscles
sculpturing my name
 
inspired by a wooden sculptured Buddah
