Open graves, petrichor pelts a casket nailed shut—awoken by trembling flashbacks, clawing for air.

Oh, Sara. You've gone totally Poe, and I'm loving it! I have been nailed in a coffin, not knowing I was dead and wrote about it. LOL not literally but it was a few years ago.

Thank you so much. Poe is my favourite poet. I have a beautiful leatherbound book of his works.
