Slice of Life

All Is Vanity

By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 06, 2016

Slice of Life

Sic transit
Purest
White marble
Galvanic
Classical beauty
Adonis
Perfect features
Severed
Fragment of glory
All that remains
Toppled
Smashed to the ground
Rudely assaulted
Ancient culture
Whom the gods loved
Perished still young
Agile yet fragile
Peak of perfection
Not suffering
Indignities of age
No ruts or wrinkles
Marring that
Alabaster complexion
Radiant beauty
Reminder of
Paradigms
Platonic ideals
Fraternal love
Beautiful buggery
Enduring litmus
Smashed memories
Paragon of
Lost youth
Sliced clean
Hacked away
You’re so
Vain
