Bone White Moon
Little stir has the air,
Yet a great noise it makes
As it rattles – like bones –
The dry leaves on skeleton trees.
A veil of vapor rises
From a bog not far away,
Like a specter drifting skyward,
Aloft on nightly haunts.
Underfoot the leaves crunch,
Arid and bleached,
Like the dry, taut skin
Of rigor mortis.
Alone in the sky flies a
Bone White Moon,
Peering out from behind
Passing shrouds.
Silent, and steadfast,
As The Reaper.

Thank you, Neil. She’s an oldie from 1906.
Hand-hewn beams, lath & plaster walls, and the draftiest windows in Engleville!
