Pinched-Back Poe

A skeletal flower  
awoke to gather souls  
shepherding the woodland worms  
listening to the dark red lipstick
with a mirror worn on its face  
rattling the cage of seedless livery
with the cutlery's cuttlebone  
writing what the eyes behold
like a pinched-back Poe  
with decaying tongue
Written by adagio
