Coffindust
The Archaeological Journal, "controversial views" of this "dig" plagued with tragedy, mishaps filled the news and bold hieroglyphics repeating a curse sickness, pestilence, perhaps something worse. "Quite peculiar, Amazing, Completely Unknown" scientific reflection, observing the tomb, some spectacled professors gaping in awe, this strange mausoleum without any doors. "We'd best heed the warning and cover it up", but these protests of reason, just couldn't cut through the stone of majority, in spite of the curse .. sickness, pestilence, perhaps something worse. Warning glyphs cover the coffin .. pleading: "don't break the seal", all ignored by these moderns in their ignorant zeal, then with pick-axe, shovel and self-righteous pride they broke open the coffin and stared deep inside. "Just dust"........ disappointment , and a sneeze on the breeze, bacteria, viruses, ancient deadly disease, now released from their slumber, unleashed like a curse .............. sickness ........................ pestilence .......... perhaps something worse ...... |

I wonder if...someday...someone will dig my coffin up and pop it open to stare at my bones. They'll say, "And here is a wonderful specimen from the last century, look at how well her hair is preserved."

mmmmm what a spinner of spidery tales you are, a right jolly good read everytime... thanks for the hellovagood times! Will the future fall to the past? Is this the tree of knowledge calling?

This kind of remonds me of a story I read about a plague chamber, where they put all the dead nodies back in the days of the bubonic plague, being opened in modern day Europe. Scary to consider...

Brilliance..the beauty is subtle . . the disturbance of creeping spirit-like flowers or something, ill-defined images, brutalities of the mind. I can draw so much from this. Wonderfully written.

I like the 'shape' of this poem. It reminds me of an empty shoe. Or a coffin lid. Or just an empty coffin. Very cool.

it does give a creepy crawly sort of feeling... my first thought was Boris Karloff and the classic horror film, "the mummy" excellent write
