And the fleshy nubs in their skin sleep
diamond fingers shine
and bloody stumps creep with hands unseen
steel plates in the lie
rhythmic blades creep ‘neath earth deep
and vulgar cry screaming steep
while curdled wails still flash the dark
and verged widows damp the spark
Metal stanchions captured still
Bearing load to shopped un-til
The verdant boughs crack the light
And Atlas fain to nature’s might
Green shoots and rose unclipped,
and un-thorned touch to fingertips
belie the canvas yet to paint
and shadowed heart yet left to taint
Bone, muscle, skin in vines
Tendrils, soul and blood entwined
Piper run through evil rust
While the bones, mouldy crumb to dust.
