Prompt: Describe a Funeral...
Tear stained faces...
Eyes swollen with saturated grief...
Shoulders slumped under the weight of Death's hand...
A murder of crows pecking around the deceased...
Mouth of Mother Earth swallowing her child...
A body cold and stiff as the porcelain...
Statues on each side of the casket...
Dead flowers for a dead body...
Tombstones that will last far longer than the life they are meant to mark...
Tall spired tombstones, pointing up to God as if to remind Him, 'I am important!Here I am!'...
Worms make soil and from soil we are made and in death the worms will eat us again...
They lay in on the satin finery they could never afford in life...
Lacquered hair and waxen lips in a poor mimcry of life...
Sadness and gossip - a funeral at it's best
My heart mourns today not for these people, but for my death.
