The stars dipped into the snowy hills,
Twinkling and glimmering in a blue world,
Gathering in the drifts at the base of old trees
Wisened half by weather, half by soil.
Moved by the rivers trailing through the dirt.
.
Skeletons sleep nestled in their roots.
Great fissures crack the earth open in a sneer.
The poets tumble in and die,
The romantics after,
And the cynics last of all.
.
The soil shifts and chasms belch until bones
Are the only things that remain.
Souvenirs from the terror of a sleep
No one has managed to wake from.
Night has picked up its crown.
