Death is a villain
that we can not stave away
attempt as we will
and
Blood becomes viscous
when it's dead and motionless
til it's dried complete
but
Caskets were not meant
to become the new homes of
the lives we once knew
and
Flesh will most times rot
when the life has gone from it
if given the chance
but
Pain does not always
follow a death unless it
somehow affects you
and
Hoping for heaven
helps the unsure with relief
when nothing is left
but
Tree roots cut in half
are always the result of
a grave in the woods
and
The heart is a pump
whose job is done when it stops
working on its own
but
Petals on the floor
can't be prevented even
at the florists wake
