Gargoyles in grey gloamings of Autumns of Winters of the remains of days the done-buried keep secret in rigor mortis kiss
the grave pushing up daisies, the cherished our cherubs below tombstones there lays
In green tarmac flights On crucifix runways
Mausoleums with eyes of pyramids and storms houses the ravens watching ghosts from above just ants below, beneath undulating fog-cotton lakes
Upon the soil and worms and souls mausoleums...
As granite angels mime upward in prayer waiting in the weight of the lifeless wake white marbled expressions
The consternation of devil may care
None for statues or with halos the captured hearts in boxes, coffins / the inmates American gothic Gallows Caustic the silences, secret speak Life once stories of beams of light Such vibrant lives afire (now mere half paragraphs) in respite / Despite unforgiven mires
[On a plot of green in cemetery row...]
Gargoyles in the mist these arrested flights
of wish dismissed of effulgent life
through the spindle of an hourglass spider-webs of fog
where I share my path Here the haunted besides (roaming) a land of quietude futures devoid yet still turning The cyclic times The unlearned The dreaded cold below [On a plot of green, Cemetery row...]
Rest will happen but my spirit is a phoenix
Great flocks of birds Asphodels
Whilst taking a stroll... Past plots of green, In cemetery row How such silences scream : the fallen : death's blanket of snow.
