patients, waiting room
masked by Fauci, do not speak
only mice may squeak

Mummies still intrigue me after all these centuries
What was life like before we turned into pansies
There are brighter days ahead
Not days we should dread
Coz from now on these mummies will be daddies

. hidden in ruins
buried deep
yet
emotions seeped
funeral will close the casket
wounds
opened up
tears never to evaporate
love dries on the clothesline
Mount Royal
a lingering photo
train stations then
cemeteries now

Mummified body
Scouring on Halloween
Lurks into the night
The bandages falling off
Creepy skin is rotting
There are many treats
Within the old mummies heart
Candy corn inside
The living sweets
Keep the mummy alive
Gives kids their snack
The black cats keep watch
To guard these candy sweets
People avoid the cats
For fear that bad luck will hit
Mummies love their pets
