Subtle Morbidity


Where have all the dewdrops gone?

Where do fishes drown?

Out where tulip's garden grows

No human makes a sound.

 

The rocks all sleep

The leaves aren't green.

No want, no thing

Nobody.

 

But out where tulip's garden crawls,

Bones all make up empty walls.

 

Where has all the moonlight gone?

Where do flowers drown?

I know I might not look the same

Six feet under ground.
