Ghost Orchard


Three days from here
A ghost orchard lives

A border of wrought iron,
As would be seen, ironically,
In a cemetery, conceals

The specters within,
From the ghouls outside
Beyond the fence

With eternity on their side,
Time is a non-concept, it
Just is

Without a purpose to pander toward,
Meandering is the common activity
Of an entire species unseen

Where lifeless living does abound
The reddest of apples tend to
Surround

  2. Without a purpose could be kind of freeing, but could also be very borrowing and mundane, especailly if it lasts forever. Like how you set the scene, as a world that could be all around us but we just don't see.

    With eternity on their side,
