it was
a beautiful
abomination
monstrous
in depthless
misery
reminiscent
of arterial spray
cast along
stark
winter wonder
a blizzard of gore
a heart
ripped
from it’s bone prison
lain upon
a bed of lotus
still beating
the spectacle
of ugliness
made into gorgeous symmetry
like the moon
on a blade
as it plunges
still
the heart beats
feebly
with shuddering jerks
shifting across
the virgin snow

Thank you Tara. I had Del Toro on the mind and how he makes beautiful monstrosities.
