Red droplets bead her pale throat,
making a blood necklace.

Wetness drips down
like crimson dew
clinging to a silken petal.

She paints herself,
smearing darkness across a virginous,
white palette.

A Masterpiece in blood.

And she dreams,
with tenacious wonder,
of what royal figure
she will paint next.
