"a funeral in haiku"
By haunted
a graveyard for death
the silence of all the dead
deeper below you
walk across tombstones
be careful of your footing
reserved for a hole
marble epitaphs
a symbol to show a life
dearly departed
a funeral home
restoring a body new
a procession now
to lower the body
with roses and dirt of earth
a coffin is down
instant sod for you
to cover the stain you left
so beautiful now
the arrangements...
fresh flowers adore the dead
love the rose is red
a tree is planted
in memory of your death
its roots can feel you
