A poem of the living dead.

He dug himself up from the ground
After sleeping
In his pinewood box for a while
His teeth stained
His flesh pealing
His eyes sewn shut
He coughed the dirt from his lungs
And went on his way;
No acknowledgment
for the girl
With the lantern

    Best Wishes

    I wish there was more! He scurried the ground to smell her flesh,only to find her sleeping in someone else’s arms,add more detail along those lines.
