A house for the dead

which only has one floor.

Coffins and urns shoved

and rearranged within all

available gaps. Corpse-neighbours

rattle in protest, dead flesh

whacking at wood invaders

in their dead-space.

Respect amongst the departed?

Decay-stench in protest,

ignored by noses that no

longer work. Throats trying

to remember forming words,

shouts, a way to be heard.

The lights are shut off

for the night.

They remain silent, dead to the world.
