The Grauballe Man

As if he had been poured
in tar, he lies
on a pillow of turf
and seems to weep

the black river of himself.
The grain of his wrists
is like bog oak,
the ball of his heel

like a basalt egg.
His instep has shrunk
cold as a swan's foot
or a wet swamp root.

His hips are the ridge
and purse of a mussel,
his spine an eel arrested
under a glisten of mud.

The head lifts,
the chin is a visor
raised above the vent
of his slashed throat

that has tanned and toughened.
The cured wound
opens inwards to a dark
elderberry place.

Who will say 'corpse'
to his vivid cast?
Who will say 'body'
to his opaque repose?

And his rusted hair,
a mat unlikely
as a foetus's.
I first saw his twisted face

in a photograph,
a head and shoulder
out of the peat,
bruised like a forceps baby,

but now he lies
perfected in my memory,
down to the red horn
of his nails,

hung in the scales
with beauty and atrocity:
with the Dying Gaul
too strictly compassed

on his shield,
with the actual weight
of each hooded victim,
slashed and dumped.
 
I study the partially mummified corpses of the children in my basement.
 
Enough with the creepy pictures Zombieturtle01, that post has been deleted, thanks for the heads up Monkey.

Close to wanting to close this thread now because you're abusing it. The blame will fully be on you.
 
If the image(s) were thread closing worthy, I'd understand, but it's simply not. If I was posting photos from rotten.com of suicides and butchered remains of humans, that would be one thing but everything I've posted has been within appropriate artistic or scientific taste.

Theres nothing wrong with taking an interest in mummification and preserved human oddities, that are displayed in museums and printed in high school biology textbooks.

And if you're arguing on behalf of the other images I've posted besides fascinating archeological remains, then all else are well done make up and special effects, which is art.
So tell me, what have I done wrong besides provide an interesting deviation of photos in this dump?


And before you, or someone else makes a complaint for not posting a picture in a post, here, I'll meet the requirement-


 
Also this references a contented point - it does say 'RANDOM IMAGES'.

Personally, ZT, I thought everything up to the babies was gross but interesting.
 
Gunther Von Hagens, who created the famous Body Worlds exhibit, a controversial display of preserved human remains. Yet it's so interesting and pulls at human emotion that even field trips are taken there when his exhibit comes to town. I'm sure a lot of you have been to it. Definitely go if it comes to a town near you.

But oh, let me sensor this because the art of biology is such a taboo subject..





If you cannot see the beautiful artistic and scientific appeal of such a thing, I think you've been seriously enveloped in the societal label of what is "art", what is "study" and what is "human understanding".
 
You call yourselves artists? You're all hacks, all of you.... I'm Sander f*cking Cohen.

There was like 30 of these trailers there. A few of them were completely collapsed, and I wouldnt dare go inside some of the others for interior pics, because the floors look like they wouldve collapsed in a heartbeat.
