Womb's Eye

Cloudless and incandescent sky

In a cemetery’s eye

The girl scratches the pavement

Trying to break the phantom surface

Of the lush, reposing observance

Hypnotized in wet cement

Infantile womb long forgotten

Immortal, and decaying

The girl cringes as the smoke fills her lungs

The funeral procession remains oblivious

In skin so young

Filled with childish hope

Longing to be buried in the ground

Resound with crows, and ghosts of flowers.
