After the blood loss, I injected
my chest with thick oil paint.
Alizarian Crimson for > oxygenated >
and Cobalt Blue for < venous < .
..................I thought someone might
..................want to paint a picture with
..................my earthly remains so I took
..................a shot of Cadmium Yellow
..................with a turpentine chaser
..................so the mortician could paint
..............................with this
..........(.........world's whole spectrum.........)
.........................at his brushtips.

was an artist and now,
after you

...........with.........out...........................you
nailed to a museum
wall, with a plaque to
tell the casual standerby
