Fluted scent intoxicated from ivory chalice
on stems near wooden rows faced forward,
blasphemy etched onto bleeding limestone
with letters bent-broken over birth
to Soul's demise carved from calcified grin.
Coroner brushed, pasted handiwork pale
with stitched purpose sewn and threaded
through powdered kiss
he mocked in muted hues
like his other models prior.
Ebony highlights haunted fall from grace
when Voodoo chants challenged Mortality
written within symbolic gestures
coiled trees of Life over canvas
before breath captured in vase, sealed
curse assumed clear yet youth withered;
sweat dripped sweet to salt and cure fat
before beauty left outside to drain-dry.
Rigor mortis petrified message with stone
cold expressions in upper extremeties
exsanguination failed to decipher fully
but clot formed, clarified signatures written
between ironed wrinkles cellopane wrapped.
The Artist satisfied-
pushed his Masterpiece into silver mouth
with worth on slab until day of her debut.
