WHEN THEY CARRY THE BODIES OUT

By Cat London


When they carry the bodies out you won't know it's real ‘til you feel

the weight of his hands and legs, and his heart, it was tortured, and his heart it was warm, then it

went cold, you won't know

‘til you feel when they carry the bodies out.

The landlord wonders, the roommates wander,

his neighbors blunder, his mother stutters,

his father stumbles, his sister mumbles,

his friends are humbled. Surreal

til you feel…when they carry the bodies out.
