Living in coffin

entry picture

You were buried under the ground,

But watching us above the clouds 

left us living a life in a coffin. 

without you with us around. 

 

  living yet dead inside

 like a sequin smile cried 

 

Must you take our souls 

​​​​​​perforate our body with holes

left our body to decay

Breathing in coffin 

in light of the day.
