A preserved tarantula nestled within a floral arrangement — present, still, unhurried. Two species of preserved cicadas: one with yellow-green wings marked with small white spots and a delicate rostrum; one dark brown-black, spotless, without a rostrum — both caught mid-silence. Two small bouquets of preserved chrysanthemums in shades from pale blush to soft violet, with dried grains and botanicals. A separate small bouquet of pale blush and antique tea roses. All florals preserved — nothing artificial, nothing repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e_______________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLORE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequiem Aeternam\u003c\/em\u003e — eternal rest.

The spider stills, and becomes ornament. The cicada splits open, and becomes light. What remains is arranged here, with reverence — bones and bloom, chitin and petal, the language of decay spoken slowly, like a prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep green velvet holds it all.
