Indigo

Plain-sinking skull 
Bubbling on the field of old 
Eroding in the naked-split sunder 
Festering its mute and historic splendour 
Sitting, laying in the ooze of mud
Unknown depth no rescuing hoof 
Nearing completed clot of production 
Can you feel that destruction? 
Withering a stem broken sunflower 
Unknown power 
No description to mast a seed 
No infliction to place a wreath 
Everything forgotten left like crinkled 
Wrappers smothered in shaded weeds
Entered hades beauty faded
