He is now art
The murderer
In Death Row
A live object
To an artist
A sinner
Sentenced to die
This is
The artwork itself

But
In exchange
He requested the artist
Help with an appeal
Which
If successful
could change
The outcome
Altogether

It did
For they won
The artwork will die
In prison
Naturally

The object will die
not
By the system
And by the artist
But by God
and then
Become food
For Helena
To complete
The work of art
