Skull Of Life

against the backdrop
of an evening
light
lies the skull of
a busy life

in the morning some gnats
put on the dress of flesh

in the helplessness of the
veins
the rain water shakes its
locks of hair

a butterfly comes here once
in a while
as an inspiration of the
poetess

meanwhile the rivers sings a song
of a triumphant
arrival to the sea to the sea to the sea
