Handsome is as handsome does, they say.
Rose, don't trust his coat of iridescent green
the color of long-buried bottles
and suspect flesh, putrescent sheen.
Abuse you, won't he now, and throw you away.

Yes, the problem in both is the "worm"image...Beetles seem more ambiguous in some way...meaning eternity, new awakening, in the Egyptian cosmology.

I like that idea. I guess I was aiming at a lot of "w" sounds in the line to keep it moving along and sound a bit moralistic, like the first line. How do you think "chew" sounds?

Later - I don't like that much either - too bug-specific when it should be ambiguous.
