Skeleton Song by Savannah Love
Skeletons hum lullabies on mossy rocks
for restless reeds and skipping pebbles.
Music gushes down a river bend,
into the hollow ear of a winter’s breeze.
The sun embellishes his golden meadow,
wishfully waiting for his skeleton’s song.
He imagines a sweet tune,
the kind that breaks a heart
then melts it back together,
a melody of peace built from broken pieces.
The sun coats his dry bones
ready to soak his sweet, somber song and carry his skeleton home.
