Lyrics
from a photo
The boy with
his perfect eyes,
deep pools of color,
in this posed moment
is the shining
sarcophagus
they will place
the body
within
We will not watch
as flesh shrivels
beneath linen wrappings
they have
already removed
spleen, lungs, liver
heart
Anytime, night
or day
this picture is available
for your viewing
only do not look
behind the eyes
