Maggots

framed grains
of wood
black on evergreen
(lack of name)
flowers
meant for peace

shriek to bloody mess!
this is maggots
under skin
this is stainless white
this is plastic shrink-wrap
this is glass-eyes harvested
from honey jars

hear the curtains
rip them down
stain
dirty the white
with sun
as they come
running in
glass-eyes horrified
stop!
bastard
you stained our white
