Sacrificial Virgin
A foil dish is my crown
and fat pools in my ear
casting ants in tow
from the front of the parade
to the rear
and out along the curving frown.
The luscious bird hath finally flown
with her brothers away from here.
The ants were launched to feed the crow
on chocolate and survival fear.
Escaped sacrifice of great reknown
means stones-a-poppin'for this clown.

Escaped sacrifice of great reknown

Great word play!
suggestion; "The luscious bird hath finally flown"
Hath seems out of synch with the rest of the poem
and, IMO, it reads better with "has."
