Poetical Topics
There is no freedom from it
Even in white lilies and organ music
There is makeup on her embalmed face
And men leering over an oak casket
She is an Ophelia
An Evelyn McHale
Unquestionably, her death is the most poetical topic in the world
She does not write these poem for her hands have been seized by rigor mortis
Her soul has been stolen by a rigor mortis of constitution
She does not write because she does not wish to
Why write he when she could be the muse
When she could relinquish control to the painter, the poet
She could be still forever, asleep and beautiful
There is no freedom from his hands anyways
He will create what he wants
Even in white lilies and organ music
There is no freedom from poetical topics
