The Moonskull Verses Canto 8
A quiet field
connected the space
between village and catacomb.
Where once was
spacious peace
of soft grass,
vivid flowers
and bright, cloud speckled skies;
a peace now undone
by sparks of life
carelessly tossed aside.
Savaged by a sharp
foe unseen.
She knew he could not
bear witness to
his love cut thusly.
