soap sculptures

na.

carved cruicifixes,

slashed n’ sliced stars of david,

chiseled taijitus,

hacked stars n’ crescents

cleaved christs

dissected n’ shaped buddhas,

engraved menorahs

chipped n’ etched away Confucius

trimmed dharmachakras

whittled & molded muhammad

severed n’ separated astrological zodiac signs

snipped aum

chopped n’ cracked pentagrams  

lopped off lotus flowers

shaved n’ grated ichthys &

pierced pentacles---

all wash away in the sink

after running warm water over them

for a little while.
