Water

Brittle bone, dust dry upon the floor

Socket blind deprived of sight

A time-cracked skull and nothing more

For future poets to find to write



Our mortal midwife with chalice in hand

Wraps gelatin flesh round the frame so dull

Placing life and light on this barren land

By pouring water on a skull

B....y Beauty! You do write well Mr Mason and a very humorous piece at that. I'm glad you drop into PostPoems at times. Though your work at times sends chills at some of my awkward addempts. Tho' it gives me heart to carrie on in my own little backwater.
