l. sacrum bone, crematory pyramid-- shramming orange. passion's seat jumped on-- the ground giving way, the world disrobed. donned at the overlook... a most humble service gathers. ll. examining upside down the base of a table-- while blindfolded with a shroud. whose two right legs offer an incomplete rocker. radial urgency. there shall be no succor, the cup shall not be passed. lll. the musculature of survival, taking the form of wilderness. standing on, and in place of an animal hide rug-- whose dead hair's rising in response to a voiced agony. it is finished.

Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion
l. sacrum bone, crematory pyramid-- shramming orange. passion's seat jumped on-- the ground giving way, the world disrobed. donned at the overlook... a most humble service gathers. ll. examining upside down the base of a table-- while blindfolded with a shroud. whose two right legs offer an incomplete rocker. radial urgency. there shall be no succor, the cup shall not be passed. lll. the musculature of survival, taking the form of wilderness. standing on, and in place of an animal hide rug-- whose dead hair's rising in response to a voiced agony. it is finished.
*Francis Bacon, Irish-British figurative painter, circa 1944.
