Scattered Bones

Beyond two tiny
unhinged-gates,
a cobbled path
paves eerie tones.

It guides one through
its labyrinth maze--
of toppled-over
defaced stones.

The specters grace
 the weepin' trees,
with prayers--so they too
can rest in peace.

For what lies below
its caved-in slabs--
with wicked weeds 
that pricks then stab.

Ghosts' jewelrys, mostly those
of golden round, within each pile
of shredded clothes--attached to
dusty scattered-bones are found.
