Rag Bones

In the darkness I wander, rag bones  
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones  
festooned with garlands of peat and weeds  
pawn to a knave answering the Piper's call    
close to the vest listening to her chest      
exorcising the corset in her atheist bed    
listening to her scream for rag bones    
from her anatomy, I silence her dead  
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones
Written by adagio
