Dancing Skeletons

dancing around in a body that’s boney

spinning around like a pocket full of posies

ashes ashes, skeletons in a casket

beautiful tragedy, passionate and tragic

the potential burned out like a box of matches

face down in an ice cold ocean alight from Titanic

staring down at your picture pierces through 

my heart and I’m left feeling poignant 

you let me know you’re around through 

a ring in my left ear or a flicker of a light, 

you access me through clairvoyance
