To the Bone

Soaked in Nervous sweat, with grim smile of Determined endurance 
Ready for rebirth with colourful stain 
Charged with nervous Anticipation, Of new and Permanent Art
Underlining this new truth, with pain the evidence of our sincerity 
She paints Her living canvas, with needle, gun & ink
Relentless, in Her pursuit of perfection 
Seeking the pride of accomplishment 
This artist, this torturer, this indelible storyteller
Creator of her blood soaked masterpiece 
Further Evidence of Her vision of perfect form, with clarity its own truth
Her interpretation of a new and preferred reality
This personal statement that all will see
Drilling ever deeper, a blood smeared story unfolds, told with line & shade
The clock ticks ever slower, as verse becomes chapter, in a mesmerising hum
Anytime now, Her statement to the world
To the Bone
To the Bone
