The Winter of Unburied Bodies
The Winter of Unburied Bodies
She never came home
she went for a walk
never to return
the woods took her
kept her hidden
beneath the snow
She was tall and lean
she loved to walk
always to return
from the woods, she took
a hidden path one day
trampling fallen leaves
She was late for breakfast
she was late for dinner
never to return
woodland creatures saw her
in the Spring
still frozen from the fall
She had no children
she had no spouse
her parents walked the woods
which kept her hidden
until Spring, cursing the
Winter of Unburied Bodies.
