Gargoyle Mist

steering blatant revelries, ghouls engaged to death
chomping down streetlight openings in bitter stone
bow walled yew tree drifters, steps of many feet in
shallow parade to pew, the kneel cushion's betrayal
- how the shadowless crave… and the headless sing

Headless sing, that would be quiet a sight to witness if ever, what a creative and imaginative write this is . I love your wordplay that fits the theme that you’ve gone for too. Especially “ steering blatant revelries, ghouls engaged to death“ and “ cushion's betrayal“ deep. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always

Yes, I thought headless and shadowless would be good metaphors for the dead. Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated.
