in my melatonin dreams
the cemetery trees
hung low over the corner
graves in a
chain link grocery store
parking lot ~
going in for milk and eggs
I couldn’t
believe my eyes.
A refrigerator.
a pine box with a plunger
stuck to the top to open it
for anyone who wanted to
see the body inside, there
above ground
no one would believe this~
I took a picture
then woke up
horrified that anyone
would be buried in
a display grave
