Canticle

Skele-tongue

Whistling through a graveyard,

His gaze softens,

Eyes dark as a lake,

He grins between his two handsome ears.

 

Guarding his bones,

\"Cold Tools\", he said.

 

The silence that sits between each tooth

Is interrupted as he muttered,

\"Rain boots? You won\'t be needing those.\"

 

The first skeleton with a tongue but no taste.
