To see what cannot be unseen
Skeletons with a slathering of skin
somehow walking upright
Staggering in V formation
They wobble forward hesitantly
Like puppets jerked on strings
Weak bones bearing final breaths
As the end moves slowly in
The sun shines on them
But there is no summer here
No birds
No Light
No hope
Here there is survival
Here, that is all there is.
