Had there been a pipe ***** Where the melancholia sits It would have played Instead It felt glass between its teeth And grasped The hairs in its head Danced within The room of the dead Shadows friendly, alive with dread While vultures laughed Kicking away The offal, the bread They wanted its bones to pick Instead
