Graveyard Silence

To venture to die 
that clever answer 
is buried secrets
Closer to never 
with a fever
that circle turned purple
Golden rings on your ears
Puffing the pillows
around your head
Puffing the smoke rings 
A hunchback rings the bells
The venture to die
teardrops shaped like diamonds 
cutting your eyes
I hear you screaming
Your hair is turning colors
every strand in graveyard silence
