A song for the dead -- Incunabuli Casualties

        The sky breaks open and weeps
        For your amber hair
        Which lays in clotting mud
        A rose with a single thorn
        That survived the shears
        To be eaten by a worm
    
        A scuttling thing
        Man's eventual doom
        A plague
        It kissed you once before 
        And you were born 

        And the sky wept for you
        Suicidal muse
        Who fought and cheated and stole 
        Who left tears in her wake
        Who had no other name
    
        In the ground we found you
        In the ground we left you
        Covered in salt
        Under a stone house.
        Empty and cold. Alone.
        Sweet apple brandy on our lips

    In the early hours of the morning of Norsday, the second of September, Youree was eaten by a grue.
 
                                                           🙤-🙦
 
        A Mother Mouse
        Wit' a wick
        went lighting paths
        an' healing sick
 
        She went away 
        to hole in hill
        Said wait for her
        we're waiting still
 
    Around Noon on Cersday, the eighth of September, Ms. Flitters was carried off by a manticore.
 
                                                             ðŸ™¤-🙦
 
        Goose, Goose, Run Away
        The hound will chase you far today
        Duck through a crack and tumble down
        to a garden. Safe and Still...
 
        CRACK
 
        John Dole's found another meal 
 
    Around Noon on Cersday, the eighth of September, a Giant Goose was shot and killed by John Dole of Bisque.
 
                                                            ðŸ™¤-🙦
 
        Stacy Plaster
        Was a catcher
        Topples, Bats and Rats
        No critter could knock her flat
 
        Til she faced off John Dole's Gun
        Ain't no one could have won.
 
    Around 11 on Fennsday, the eleventh of September, Stacy Plaster of Fenn Blaine was shot and killed in a  duel by John Dole of Bisque.
