i will be smiling forever

the eyes are gone

no. not her. me.

i learned to fear

on the cruel white

of the paper

trying to speak

crying hunger

grave and bony

still ravenous

shadows across

the universe

ghosts and damp pine

taking deep breaths

burial rites

remain righteous

to man and god

haunted, haunted

with death itself

overwhelming

stuff the dead with

white noise to drown

out the sound of

oblivion
