Interview Between the Dead and the Living

A spirit about life.
And death.
Versus.
Together.

In the absense of verbal emotion -
our ever-present accomodation,
I shook with this cadaver.

And in this interview
between the dead and the living,
the corpse shuddered

with overwhelming propriety.

Highest of all hopes of finding new intelligence
through inquery of the dead
and advice it has to offer.

The corpse shuddered.

The more arrogance exited,
the more knowledge I gained,
the less education
I felt had preceded.

The more the hands ticked by
the more the interrogation
of the dead
performed by the living
seemed reverse.

Perversely disected and observed
by Death, The Reaper and your god,
in the form of a cadaver.
A corpse that shudders.
