Grave Site
By the grave I saw the rest There was no life left Dead in the flesh no pulse left God took back His breath Ah, distinctly I was entombing It threw its ghost against the remnants The explosive earth ending Instilled and stilled no life left Crave I the smelly, sepulchral shoring Alas, tho! how is it that I may smell the stank For I am dead you know nothing left smells rank Grave site - tormentor of my dreams Just what does it mean? Deep into that darkness lying Deep into that darkness crying Take thy landfill from out my heart I felt compelled to sniff the cremains I awoke and flung the spill What about dead remains I heard a happy, filling burrowing Much I marveled the bad hearse Next to me a fresh bod clawing Dead is the also the night nurse
