Puritan Board Junior
Can the dead man raise himself,
pull the sky into his lungs,
reach beyond the dark abyss
and bathe himself in rising sun?
Is the dead man conscious of
his frigid hands and unconscious mind,
the worms that twist beneath his skin,
the stench of rotting, carnal rind?
"Raise yourself!", Folly shouts
"Breath the sky into your lungs!"
The rigid corpse with vacant stare
is silent. Folly is undone.
