Sugar Skull

Boney mouth, plucked a rose from the garden
The thorns pricked skinless lips, clutching between teeth
A crooked jaw, with painted flowers around eye sockets
Splash of rain on cracked skull, trickling to the petals
Sweet fragrance from the flower, invades the boney face
A beautiful fleshless head, inked upon a beautiful thigh
