MARBLEIZING





There is a lot to marbleizing; the streaks.

Veins and darenking, not to mention the

Hardening; opaue flesh and porcelain maps.

My thoughts of you gelled and went that way;

For this you were permanently statuesque in

My mind. And I held you all metallic.



Sometimes the fluid ocean gets hard and ice

Floes coalesce to form monuments to testify

To the real hard moments in eternity; when

And if the gods get capricious they might

Flash freeze us like this and who knows

When the thaw will come.



For this reason I will not hold you forever

In my mind as Rembrandt sees himself always

Wearing a red hat and I see you so beautiful.

Rigormortis is a function of poor circulation

And death is to look only at the past where

Beauty was entombed  for a moment in marble
