Retribution
Rising from the shallow graves
Illuminated by moon’s glow
Spirits awaken to misbehave
To get revenge from long ago
She was sent to an early death
Deprived of opportunity
Translucent yet not lacking breath
From death she has impunity
Her ghostly tale will be passed on
In whispers carried in the breeze
Whomever she may come upon
Will be transformed by what they see
