Tell No Tales
no one to tell
my story. is silent
the grave that hath rung its drollful bell
and only I prevailed
‘neath the soil of under-tree
the maggots swarm upon the bod
tasting lies and secrets sweet
forever to be left untold
except in whispers ‘twixt the dead
as they settle their accounts
murmur the last lines of
autobiography. sending for rest
to come.
when my time catches up
with me, to rend the youth off
my age-old bones
the story will be silent always
to remain so
for I shall not reveal it, no
nor will my spirit let it fly
it will be kept within the flesh and separated thus
there will be left
no one to tell
my story is silent.
