Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
It was something special.
Like a forecast for what was to come.
That soft feathered thump-thump,
Too weak to be a drum.
At first I heard the clumsy footfalls,
And untrained stumbling steps.
Followed by the tumbling,
At which you were quite adept.
Then slowly came another sound;
A whoosh, a pause, a skitter.
Skipping ropes at the playground,
Excited eyes sparkling like glitter.
That fades to a steady stomp,
Rhythmic like a song.
Not one note dared step out of line,
But in a moment that too was gone.
Silence for a second,
Like a lull before a storm
Then back into the throng,
With a violent whirring roar.
One final sound is heard,
It chills me to the bone.
The hammering of nails
And the chiseling of a headstone.
