Bathing with Bathory - 3

Hungaryest predators
countess and servants
artfully played
countless bodies
harpfully strung
all sung
mockingjayed
like portraits
adorning castle walls
forever eyes and beauty
darkly
into her soul absorbs

….keeps her youthfull
for a while……………
until wrinkle or bag
dreaded heavy lines
dare speak out her hag
then vampresss
makes haste
out into the realm
vanishing
to capture a wandering girl
long tooth for youth
incisors in truth
sinking the nape of time…………..

Epilogue:
she stared into the font
of opaque blood
aphotic Gothic mirror
on the gargoyled floor
and asked:

“who is the most evil
and beautiful
Hungarian of them all?"


and so lived her fairytale……….
