Afterlife

shadow folk with ghost hearts

pass the still time whittling poems

in a dead language into translucent fingers

long and bony

dead eyes, glowing eyes

only empty holes of grey tones

stare out at the changing whitewashed world

everything is in negatives

the black light glows

and nothing matters anymore
