i know the dead dance

by Marina Dawn


i know the dead dance in their dead shoes heavy as boxes, the dead in their earth- sleep casting small holes in the heat, create the hard sound of solemnity forcing us to din our dim voices down the fat, red well. the dead try but do not understand us, love touches their feet to the grey earth & our hands to hands. what truth, at last, to find our selves alone; a strange light to fill strange light.
