dead dances

hands, smooth as silk,

cool against my feverish flesh

face, pale as ivory,

shining bright in the moonlight


tongue, heavy as lead,

the .38 bullet piercing my chest

eyes, blue as the feeling

trying to think about the long forgotten


but what happens when the dead

rise in forever lasting song?

oh, what happens to us, the dead,

when we go where we belong?


let me show you

and we shall never again be apart.
