Ode to Bernini.
Such seething putrid breaths take their course
Much like Daphne’s when she writhed under Apollo's prowess
Sap dapples all over her dress
There is no vestige to follow up a groaning so hoarse
And morose, each pomegranate’s burgundy kernel
Must subside into a flaccid and arid bank
Then, the kernels harden and blanch into a pink
For deliverance to visit this damsel, branches of the laurel
Shall make sashes across her torso for her raiment
Moreover, the bark soon canvases his thrashes
Before she is being pinned in greenery
Now wholly flayed, the bay leaves arise as a revenant
Yet, she remains to be buffeted by her blood rushes
In lieu of being blessed by soiled rosemary
