A Poem a Day (121): Skulls

Skulls

Black skull bag glitters
Neon-green in the night,
Offering dark a light
As you drift off to sleep. 

Full moon hangs heavy,
A silver cascade
Lifting the ground upward
To meet the sky’s eyes.

Branches swing, creaking,
Played on by the wind
In a rhythmic chorus
Only audible by the air.

Creeping roots bore down
Deep into Mother Earth,
Shifting senses lower and lower,
To the heart of sound.
