When I read this aloud, I say "macabre" in 2 syllables, since it just naturally sort of blends in with the following "will".
It sounds just fine to me, and I think most people will see it this way, even if they normally say macabre in three syllables.
But, who am I to say? I pronounce "cul de sac" as "dead-end street", just to annoy snooty real estate brokers.
It would be fun to see the rest of your poem.
