Poor Yorick!

"Poor Yorick!",

His soul is saved.

Safe and sound,

In cold unbeing.

 

Cold unbeing,

For whom I am so hungry.

It's bitter tundra will fill me,

But my fire won't go out.

 

The burning won't stop,

And my ashes only gather.

There's something very wrong,

With a blistering winter.

 

Oh Yorick,

I envy.

Your sleep is undisturbed;

Where I am only tired.

 

You are bones,

And King Hamlet is a ghost.  

Floating like him and stagnant as you,

I cannot rest.

 

My sleep is disturbed.

Like the king, I can't find peace.

But like Yorick,

I am hollowed bones.
