1 "Death Is But A Sleep" Quaint Rationalization Even To Revolutionaries. Think Of Robespierre Holding His Bleeding Jaw Or Marat Outside - Eyeing The Inscription, Scofula No Longer Distracting While Tepidly Emptying Bath Water. 2 Dreams, Poetry Of Painting, Deathly Pastel Shades Alongside Granite Canyons Entwined With Rosebuds And Leaves - Bone Horseshoes Clanking In The Dark. 3 Catch Basin, Drainage Ditch Upon Which The Raspberry Parts Its Tendrils And Human Remains, The Loathing Of The Living ("Not Dead Yet...." ...Appropriate Obscenity:) Scrawled On One Victorian Mortuary, Windows Knocked Out, Coffins In Full View A Hand'S Reach Away On A Dare Dignitaries In A Pile Pried Loose; One, Few Years Hence Across The Channel, Sworn Enemy To The French.
