Markerless Gravestone

By TheDismantled

Be still;
My gitty black heart.
beats on the rhythm,
of the ghost.

He's feeds off the rose,
Gnawing til the ravishings,
Best him.

A corpse,
to us all.
The solitary silent formed,
petal falls.
Weak and wilted,
visages of a rose.

-Mason Allison

    An amazing write. I can't specify what I love about this piece. It just conveys unspeakable heaviness in such amazing brevity.
