Hills of Bells: 2006
His eyes were once
a brilliant blue.
His beard and hair
once shined like the sun.
In November 1867,
nearly six months
after his execution
on the Hills of Bells,
Maximilian, the tragic,
intrusive emperor of
Mexico, bore little
resemblance to himself.
His blue eyes replaced
by the dark eyes from
a mannequin of the Virgin
of a local city church.
His body blackened
due to the lack of proper
embalming materials.
His rented crown
repossessed, and parts of
his blond beard and clothes
for sale as souvenirs.
