Already dead

Oh what a tragedy
The people are mourning
The birds are all silent
And the dead eat empty soil

The skies are weeping
Its tears are mixing
With salt from the eyes
Into the dead's mouths

Then the black-clad leave
And the skies turn bright
The birds resume chirping
But the dead say nothing
They can't breathe, anyways
