Skeletal Explanations

She plays his bones like a glockenspiel
He likes how it tickles

He grins at how her skull echoes
She just glad heโ€™s talking in her ear

Theirs is a musical marriage
Hollow notes and ricochets

A tickle of the ivories, they say
But who ever played their own

Such skeletal explanations multiply
As their symphony develops

How grateful are the moles and worms
Now theyโ€™ve taken it below


Thank you for reading

      1. You are very welcome. I was much impressed that you used glockenspiel in a poem, a poem so profoundly deep and beautiful. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿค
