Feathers Appear Twice

Beauty Tied

 Beauty tied

 with a grieving band

to the feathered death

of individuality.

Killed by a noxious ale

of conformity’s interpretation

deftly administered in

small doses until unique

had a metamorphosis

into a replica of

brainwashed perception.

A bright light

now diffused

by originality’s surrender.

Feathers of Immortality

Beauty sleeps

on angel down,

gathered feathers

of immortality.

A body caught

in a photographic wink

now tied to artistic eternity.
