The Harlequin's Lullaby

A loving couple lazily spend the summer day beneath an apple tree. The girl has left her socks inside her shoes and placed them beside the picnic blanket. She rests her head on her hands, and leans back against the tree with her eyes closed and a wide grin on her face.

A skeleton sits cross-legged and plays his lute beside her, in a moment desperate to impress. He has no eyes, nor lips, but he sings anyway; his voice sounds embarassed just to be there.
