Caravaggio's Body

A master 
Of light and shadow
Staged every scene
Down to the last meticulous detail

Passersby can't help
Bearing false witness to the capture
Of beautifully atmospheric moments in history

The Taking of Christ
The Incredulity of St Thomas
David with the Head of Goliath

A body of work
Portraying mortality
On an immortal canvas

By brush or, by steel
All's laid to rest
By a master
Of light and shadow
