Talos unmoving rust-enflamed
Provided the russet bloodgold of the Titans isn’t taken
Hidden in his statue’s base
Face so well captured for a minute I forgot which was the actual
The finest tailors of Greece major, in its heyday, made these dresses
See the tresses
The delicate stresses along the sandals
The perfect stretches, the work of a specialist
Faces of which tales were told,
Did little to hold back the ravaging, face-eating cold;
Faces on friezes in roofless places
Effaced, unto anonymity’s embrace.
Alchemisland
