I Saw the Dead Man

Maria B.

Mystic
I saw the dead man
falling down a black crevice,
his scream turning into a whisper.

I saw the dead man
crawling across the moonless sky,
his teeth shining like jaundiced stars.

I saw the dead man
standing at my door,
waiting for me to let him in,
for the dead man was lonely

and he needed a dead wife.
