Photograph style
is nearly eclipsed
Epitaph smile:
the curve of his lips…
Warpaint & love:
perfection misshapen.
The feint hint of blood
or am I mistaken?
The light in his eyes:
are they tears or illusion?
Can’t quite surmise
yet I’m steered by confusion…
It’s clear that his visage
is something inspired…
It’s clear that this image
is someone desired…
The paradox here
is not worth denying…
Men can be beautiful
while they are crying.
