A massive pale waxwork of a woman
Forever rotating in horrible slow motion,
The statue spins like a top on the grease of dreams,
A blind lighthouse whose eclipsed face is
Haloed with a numb nimbus of horror

A massive wax prison in female shape
It encloses within its hollow shell
A female zombie eating away
Its sculptured face from within

Completing each revolution in horrible slow motion
The imprisoned female zombie
Lets out an immense silent shriek
Making the wax shudder imperceptibly

For the bewitched spectator of its
First revolution, the face is masked by a red cloud
From which it shrinks like an octopus from
Blood on the ocean floor

At its second revolution the face turns black,
An opaque mask of greasy dripping suet

At its third revolution in horrible slow motion
The face bares its teeth

The spectator sleeps

Only to come to, trapped
In the waxwork zombie's womb,
In a universe of ripsaws and rats
Gyrating in horrible slow motion
