small.
crawl.
fall.


sleeping.
pinned to the ground.
preserved. protected. fossilized.

when awake.
They crawled on your skin.
like rain.
Now they sleep.

Jewels in box.
packed up.
skeletons. empty shells.
I want you.

There is no flaw. Everything is perfect, the immaculate colors, the tiniest anatomical details...and the shining crucifixes pinning them to the board topped with colorful beads.
Apparently all attempts to preserve their beauty has failed miserably to conceal the lack of poetry in motion.... the flapping of wings of a moth the cautious crawling of a beetle and many others....
How is it then any better than the graveyard .....
