<strong>The</strong> Morgue<br />

And then I see that this is what it is<br />

A swirling plume of ash of remnants lost<br />

A smell of putrid jaws that long to kiss<br />

A moment whose thought hangs in this is cost<br />

Your crystal balls are broken off their hinge<br />

Sfumato tendrils curl and kiss your cheeks<br />

<strong>The</strong>y gawk at rosy dimples—my hands cringe<br />

In me you shall not find just what you seek<br />

For he was plumes of ash before the sand<br />

That ran through broken glass ‘till kidneys failed<br />

Our putrid jaws- they strained for truth in hands<br />

No mention of my name shows love curtailed<br />

<strong>The</strong>se roads to rivers turn and then congeal<br />

My blood still flows but just don’t break the seal.<br />
