Forgotten
A congregation convenes to
confront a cold corpse's casket.
Bringing before it tears, emotions,
memories, and trembling limbs.
Not a single word is mustered,
yet a realm of regret clouds the scene.
Tears graze the soil that will become

It's a serving winch
But it's a saw to be in half of thee
To die and flatter the stench
