A Skeleton Escapes

Wounded love with a twist of Halloween

 


A skeleton escapes


the quagmire of extinction


dodges a haze of emotion


swims murky perceptions


He shakes cobwebbed memories


from his hollow heart


accidentally drops numb


shuns an edge of charm


Echoed words, blurred visions


haunt him in turn


Elation battles sorrow


as wounded love returns


He sidesteps dreams


crawl s into the casket


breaks the connection


not ready yet


The problem with remembering


how it feels to be alive


is regret always returns


the moment he opens his eyes


 


Sandy Knauer 10/05
