Over the Surface

The creature shakes festering water
all over the art house

Carved equine harmony ruins
now
fit for the knackers yard

Skin too smooth
no flex or muscle movement

The jewels were all gone
its eyes removed

Cool handed double breasted veneer
raking coals over breaking ice

- Nicholas Alexander
