Museum Glass - Skeleton Key

Five nails wide in tricky finger stretch anatomy

Ten hands high in donkey headed braying alchemy

Eight skins round in double head conjoined cacophony

Twelve strings bound the swollen ribcage of mythology

And when they brushed away the blood and dust and metal and rust

And swaddled us in velvet hands

And pinned our fragile with shiny pins and blackened grins

Under pressure, under glass

Museum glass

Three fins crown the bottom feeding reels of chemistry

Two hearts pound for blushing pilgrims in thein infancy

And when they brushed away the blood and dust and metal and rust

And swaddled us in velvet hands

And pinned our fragile with shiny pins and blackened grins

Under pressure, under glass
