It’s only a test we study in hindsight
Taken among the columns pointing to the sky
Polished marble and gold at the top of the landing
You stand if you wish
This doesn’t take long
Abstract statues start talking
& your heart is extracted
The exposure lasts until otherwise revoked
Seeing as how miniscule a blip
on starship radar is
Pulsing against the platform
A bird fluttering casts off
& no amount of words
can change a heart’s fate
