The Soul Is a Sail

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 you lips 
puffing pillows around your head 
its time for breakfast in bed 
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 
and I am counting every strand in graveyard silence 
the soul is a sail.
