In The Morgue

Sullied feet,
Filled to the brim
Like dry-wood termite.

In the mockery morgue,
Unintended jail peace
Grounded together.

In the profuse chamber,
lies a great harvest of silent peace
And piercing prudent people.

What a lovely piece of work, brim full of feeling and emotion!

those are my favorite stanzas. I couldn't pick just one. they both have a lot of meaning in them. At least to me. Really the whole poem did but to me those were the best parts. This is an amazing poem! Great write. The imagery was amazing.
