loud whispers
Which comes first, the flesh or
the bone?
Does the latter wear
the former or
is it vice versa?
Are we only truly naked when the
maggots are
done with our skin?
Is this covering of clay
a mere facade?
If it is,
then are
the dead actually dead, or
they’ve only been truly born?
If it isn’t,
then why
do these muscles forsake us
when our breaths are no more?
