skull eyes

a skeleton key

clenched in fleshless hands

a shadow of whim

whipped by petulant sands

a gold ruby crown

worn by red-beaked crows

a wicked dimpled grin

dipped in crimson rose

a charade of a cape

torn bone by bone

the last of the skin

drowned by the throne

a skeleton key

picked raw and true

the forsaken spoils

relent to your last debut
