Grave Concern

dlherrmann

 

Walking through

the park-like place

with

ornamental stones,

one finds a hole

a foot or so deep

and knows

the wooden lid

of a coffin fell!

    Watch your step, as more and more coffins are biodegradable! You slyly note that cemeteries are in a way parks with pretty stones, especially when the departed mean little to you. But don't get too complacent! maybe one of them will grab you by the ankle.

    Like the construct of this - a worthy write.
