"He was supposed to be dead."
Prose or poetry. Maximum 500 words.
Terra Verma Interruptus
He was supposed to be dead
That's what you naturally assumed
When you can't find the head
He was supposed to be buried
In the ground, interred, inhumed
And his rot in situ unhurried
He was supposed to be eaten by worms
At terra verma six feet consumed
But a murder of crows his death confirms
He was supposed to be returned to the earth
But was dug up, brought to the mall foodcourt room
For black Friday, offered for less than he's worth
Chop locally
