If you were buried underground you don't need to say
underground that is implied in 'buried' carry on
but if you *were* for say a hundred days maybe
from mid-december to the beginning of spring wrapped
mute in a mummification pact then you may appreciate
the thawing very unsatisfactory word the
clicking cracking of bone the bloom of blood
the loosening of musckle gristkle and whatnot
a process which some claim could take another
cent jours during which you headless geese
suffering sarcophagus in your stink rags
you will have forgotten your own holy names and
how you came to inhabit this wintry incarceration
but blessed
to meet again
forgetful
as strangers
