A Paper Cemetery


A paper cemetery
Misshapen tombs,
Above lands grave
Destined for circular ends

Alar; hollow

Back-stories triggered
By a violent strike of sound

As contrasting marble
Slow dances with shale
A sickened affirmative
Droops its heedlessness

Grapnel; sullied

Ornamental gates
Creaking a minor smear

Lamp-less lanterns flood the rive
As curtails crisscross the skimming sky

  1. haha just makes me want that pringle can when I go that much more..haha.

    But yeah paper does seem to be dying out, I guess the trees are being saved, so I have some protection still at bush number three..haha. It will always be around, just will dwindle away as time goes on and each persons shelf will be like their own cemetary of sorts.
