frozen in sheets, i'm alive
as the night surrounds me
the busy buzzing beehives
flutter in pieces 'round
the statue on top of me

it sits unmoving, alive
a faithful devotee
worshipping to be revived
hands appear and reach towards
the statue on top of me

slippery, wet and alive
i see no amputee
an arm knocks it with a dive
nowhere to be found was
the statue on top of me
