Laughing Skull

LAUGHING SKULL

my arms have breached the white walls
of laughing skull.

i have feasted upon their thoughts
today my plate is empty.

the butler of my brain is tired
but continues to serve a feast.

bleached ribs a xylophone 
playing macabre notes.

as my tongue dances inside
the empty hall of my mouth.
