storyline

a bad chapter 
   here and there
a miraculous escape
a capture unexpected
a wound that festers
a love  walks away
an accident maims
   all and the all
be ‘a-flyin’ and ‘a-cryin’ 
   a lot...

and  all the while
the dead  dance and dance,
   circling
   negotiating your value,
gossiping and chanting,

should you be there
   where you be?
or here...   
  come to be   
  with us?
