Purloined corpses
dragged from
Cemetries. Morgues. Funeral pyres

Half a dozen hands, working under me
used to shepherd the bones
through stages of de-fleshing. Drying.

Whole Price :
Dollar forty five
for secret dealers

they wired pieces together,
painted on medical diagrams,
sawed away sections on skulls.

One day,
one fateful day,
I got hold of the cold
body;
my youngest son,15 yeared . . .
( there was special prize for
child bodies, you know!)

I saw ‘death’, the ‘first’ time, and . . .

The day after,
Law keepers furnished the following details

Name : so and so

Age : around 50 years

Cause of death : Unknown so far. (Investigations are on.)

Occupation : Keeper of the Village cemetery.

Now my eldest son
works in my place.

Thanks for the appreciation, DSL. Sasha, if you like you may move the piece to the said room. I had a long wish to write something about skeletons. Just came out today.
Cheers.

Arunansu,

I agree with Sasha, that perhaps the dark forum is the place for this, but you did it so well, maybe you should write more and make that forum a place to visit too. I love the way you create atmosphere and yet leave us asking questions.

Laughing at DSL too....you can come out now Mark!!! LOL

Peace and hope,

Paul.

Your ability to effectively write poetry
in fragmented sentences that seem to expand
the mind is truly admirable.

I enjoy how you go after a subject and
keep on digging into it until it is fully
expressed.

Well done!

It should have been placed in "The Room Under
the Stairs" but, it's fine to leave here.

A,

Take some time at some point and visit the other
rooms. "The Room Under the Stairs" is specifically
meant for Dark Poetry. It doesn't mean that you
have to place every dark poem there but, if you
are a regular contributor (and you seem to be that)
it would help us out if you spread your poetry around.

We like the rooms to stay active.

I am becoming a fan of your poetry.
I like the unique style and the depth
of what you leave for us on the screen.

Thanks Much,
andy

Dear All,

Dear RE,

Skeletons are essential for medical studies, world wide. Wiithout skeletons, our Doctors wouldn't have been ale to cure us! Now the supply for the same used to come mostly from India till 1985, when our Government banned the export of skeletons. But the business has thrived worldwide, thanks to the lure of money and black market vendors. On one hand, you might find my poam 'inhuman', but on the flip side, it is essential for scientific studies. This poem emerged after reading an article on this. After all, it's a 'trade' too.

So all is not dark, even if it seems to be. That's life, some business are essential, but may sound cruel and evil.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy, and all.
