Sour Memories

Fossilized cadavers
Unable to be cremated or buried
Refusing to disintegrate into oblivion

Interesting poem this, Valsa, Epigrams like haikus and senryu, can take the imagery spirally, here i think of victims of foul play, and never to be found...Love a poem, that impacts and makes one think.

The wheel of the gods grind slowly .....some fossils remain artifacts, some are converted into gems, and many are pulverised to satisfy greed or fears, but your words ring bells!

Lovely. Once fossilized, it will remain like that till the end of time. A very intelligent epigram.
