pedestal for moment
given
pulpit
ear constructed
in patient eagerness
deserving risen monument
built in/to
alabaster/porcelain
form
lips, bit
/open – intent
on question
but awaiting what is
soon-to-come
is worth whatever sculpture
the mind’s architects, scholars
can engineer in a name.
no tiaras – petty crowns to send
professionals further above
but
most certainly –
some other
honor
