For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to disinter the bones in certain sections of his local cemetery, to make way for new arrivals.

the

the

fires

of

Hell

she

drag 

the

rotten 

murdering

bones

of

you, 

and

may

downhill

and

stares

trying 

to

(quietly)

He

caresses 

the

again, 

kisses 

the

cranium

gently,

and

slowly 

exits 

to

his

room 

with 

it,

still

trying 

to

remember. 

Lights 

fade 

to

black 

as

he

goes.
