Earth
Under my feet
As I step close
To your resting place
Earth
Dug from the ground
Piles of brown dirt
That you will replace
Earth
Thuds onto you
Covers the smile
On your sweet face
Earth
I pat the earth down
My whisper ‘goodbye’
There’s no other trace

Make sure to clean the dirt from underneath your fingernails! Don’t want to leave anything behind.

I don’t know. Dirt underneath fingernails is quite manly, isn’t it? Lol. Behave or I’ll dig you up kinda thing that would scare the ghouls, you know?

The sound the dirt makes when it hits the casket
You haven’t lived till you have actually hear it
It’s an experience that you will never forget
That and when you see them carrying someone out
Gots lots of those stories
Nothing like the kiss of death

I hear those reverberating thuds all the time…if I had a heart, the sound would be as consistent….like a drum. Thanks for visiting, and I always look forward to what you have to say — always unique.

Great image to go with a cool poem—or is it a song? Could easily hear it set to music. Enjoyed, thanks.

I can hear the shovel gouging the earth, the labored breathing, the soft, satisfied laugh as the last as the dirt is patted down over that “sweet face”. Dead…gone…forgotten.
Love it!!! 😀
