A skull sat on my work table
And I could only helplessly stare
And wonder how best to use it
Cover the mass of paper there.
A skull sat on my work table
And I could only look on to see
How true Darwinian evolution
Whether Neanderthal or Cro-magnon he.
A skull sat on my work table
And I could only wonder more
Best incorporate in a mystery
Or in strange fantasy set store.
A skull sat on my work table
And I look on in silent dead
No crime of passion but imagination and
My ever fragile muse: now so dead.
