#262: Triumph of death

'Triumph of Death'
is on my wall
in miniature.
this weird futurity
from 1562: a message
from deep in the mine
of beauty's strange cordial
for the eyes

with an oven at its heart
extremities grow pale
in the interstices
the dead
fructify

the shock itself is the triumph:
the fructifying seed

beholding the rate
 at which these corpses breed
