Compressed and crushed in glass, above, man screams.
Flesh blood and bone formaldehyde preserved,
A specimen ‘tween silicon plate seams.
A skin dissected, torn and pulled, now gleams;
Her single cell layer scalpel-peeled and curved,
Compressed and crushed in glass, above, man screams.
From body onto glass flow iron hemes
And pounding on her prison undeserved,
A specimen ‘tween silicon plate seams.
Experimental sins and wretched schemes
Induced upon the woman he disserved.
Compressed and crushed in glass, above, man screams.
From out of mania bleed harsh maxims
Which render man, once lucid, more unnerved,
His specimen ‘tween silicon plate seams.
A truth more visceral than man’s worst dreams,
Revealing she is just as he observed,
Compressed and crushed in glass, above, man screams.
A specimen ‘tween silicon plate seams.
