Her pale skin, taut with youth,
drained of blood,
pulls against the surgeon's tape
sealing the innocent's black mouth:
sarcophagus for her emollient eyes
interred within her flaccid throat;
her silenced mortal frame
entombing eternity.

Gave me a chill. The contrasting image of pale against black and being silenced forever is striking.

This is cool! Dark and edgy. BTW I think flaccid is wrongly spelled - but hey - it's close enough! (Bet you wouldn't accept close enough in your music, though) which I enjoyed, but loved more the Albrecht Durer background.

Thanks for the edit! I've fixed it. I'm always interested in perfecting my creations, music or otherwise, and love anyone who will help me in that endeavor...so, a heartfelt MAHALO to you...and I'm glad you noticed the background as well as the music...you are very observant!
