Parent message is 372684
when she was unearthed
we shook the dirt from her eyes
and they cut the night
as a white-hot glare
sliced through the night.
they brushed her cheek
and listened for her flutter
but as always
her sighs slipped past their lips.
they felt her heart
beat not once
but twice she echoed their doubts
and she faded into the blood of her passing
poured from her grave.
