The Skull
© Maria Rosenkreutz, July 22, 2015
the skull is made of bone
and lives throughout the Ages it has seen many faces and carries them all some are afraid to look at the skull its bony cheeks with no flesh on them the seams that have grown -- keeping the plates together -- prove that the skull has matured (for a child's skull plates are still separate) the skull remains unmoving throughout the Ages and sees much it is unmoved by people's fear and remains, ultimately, untouched except by the faces that come to lay upon it life after life after life the skull is like me its structure looks ugly alone with no face, no flesh it is honest and truthful expressing the essence of the Ages it does not move like a face would because it has no muscles to twitch but it rests in peace throughout the Ages rests in peace throughout Eternity. |
