Defuncts - Mortuary Drape

From the halter, from a crime, from a seance;

From a Burial, from a child, die in July;

From the pain … The Black Man

Of Defuncts … who appear in the dreams

Of Defuncts … lying on the plankbed morgue

Of Defuncts … who made to ring bells

Of Defuncts … who touch with their cold hands

Of Defuncts … who die young in summer dead

Of Defuncts, tales of hunted medianic

Of Defuncts … buried in desecrated ground

Of Defuncts who scream from the Coffin …

What’s the life for a Defunct?

It’s a life that should be

What’s the life for a living?

It’s a mask on borrow time …

When the Defuncts deceased violently in pain

Of Defuncts … who don’t realize be dead

Of Defuncts spit 'em out from medium mouth

Of Defuncts … summon back by conjuration
