the sun's dappling masks the pulseless veins her fingers stroke the fiery corpses mocking wormservants and tricking lovers into believers of beautiful death the crisp of bones fragment beneath secret feet and lift their dusthymns in the truthlight of autumn's moon that will not hide beneath the patchwork of her dress this patient haunting where their skeletons moan lower in some places if you would dig me deep enough you will find the moss damp where I will only sleep until full lipped winds quicken me to twine once more around your limbs to rise your vernal Lazarus H |

Oh my!! This is haunting in such a beautiful way. I love that first verse of yours and every emotion and metaphor in between. Your ending is absolutely fabulous. I am always in for something special when I read you and you don't ever disappoint fair lady!! |
