Postmortem

Atanacio on Dec 27, 2009

A Ghost watches the examination.

The Ghost knew,

the sights,

the frights,

the lack of heart pounds,

all sounds,

the smells,

there was nothing else,

no more time,

the crime,

no matter how stark,

brutal and dark,

pale against the process

by which the murdered

are dissected and examined

to find the cause,

the ghost would pause

at the legal clause,

and the necessity

of the postmortem examination,

what frustration!

You are best at your arena of crime-fiction.

the coldness of the steel bed looks cold and icy without the body, it does make you wonder if the dead do watch themslves getting cut open in the morgue.

Hi there!
