When everything is as it was in my childhood

Violent, vivid, and of infinite possibility:

That the sun and moon broke over my head.--Richard Eberhart

Skeleton!
Tell us what you lack ...
the ability to love,
your flesh so slack?

Will we frighten you,
grown as pale & unsound,
when we also haunt
the unhallowed ground?
