She left me too soon

Dirt and worms, nay, not for her

Our bed, she belongs

This freaks me out so bad. I love it!

Have you ever heard of Carl Tanzler? If not you should definitely look him up.

I had not, but read just read his entire story after you mentioned him. I know he'd love my haiku!

He’d even read it to his wife ☺️

The ground's still soft here

An easy dig. Say, now much

You think she'll sell for?

A good old fashioned resurrection, fantastic. I love the detail that the ground is still soft, ergo, the corpse is still fresh. Very cool.

Shadowed hands emerge

Disinter nightmares asleep

Restless souls awake

We buried big Paul

Then we dug him up again

We were too hungry
