FUNERAL



Musky green shades drawn
Dark cold privacy
Hanging idly and stoic
Display the invisible predicament
Burgandy cherrywood
Polished and curiously pretty
Contain the neglected unfilled space
Thousands of black shined shoes
Thousands of odd-shaped items
Suffocating in meshed net stockings
Robbed of dignity are the remains
Sneaky fingers violate the dress code
Lazily dumped in zippered plastic
No one is watching
