Corded muscles of the neck ferry the voice of sky,
Charon of words adrift in a salivary dislocated sine,
A fracture of breath, the stenciled rowing of a sigh.
Psychopomps of moonlight, past-throated vultures,
Carrion of clouds even if stripped clean in vulpicide,
Even if our scorched and coining tongues tip at stars.

In Greek myth, Charon ferried the dead across the river Styx and Acheron in Hades. A coin was placed in the mouth of the dead to pay for passage.
Pyschopomps are figures who guide the dead to the afterlife, in myth and some religions.
Vulpicide is the killing of a fox.
