Slow Mourners Waltz

Bookmark
HomeUncategorizedSlow Mourners Waltz

Only when there is nothing left –
of whispers caught in the throat of twilight
no shards of souls lingering in ribcages of stones
echoing in hollowed halls no embers to remember

And still, they cling on, oh sweet Lenore
to what the dark has swallowed whole

Does the beguine begin to slow mourners waltz
over silent graves hearing the wind blow
into the girth of silent hymns
a requiem for the lazy bones
