The Deposition............. (Ekphrasis)
A descending virgin makes his final sigh
As crystalline flesh bleeds on sinful hands
Innocent blood flowing through marble veins
Impurities haunt Mary’s character again
As Crystalline flesh bleeds on sinful hands
The spirit of sacrifice entombed in a metamorphic cocoon
Impurities haunt Mary’s character again
Michelangelo abandons her righteous heart
The spirit of sacrifice entombed in a metamorphic cocoon
Everlasting life living in white parian stone
Michelangelo abandons her righteous heart
And Nicodemus showers her son with calcitic tears
Everlasting life living in white parian stone
Innocent blood flowing through marble veins
And Nicodemus showers her son with calcitic tears
A descending virgin makes his final sigh
