A Requiem for My Decaying Teeth

broken headstones in a cemetery of disrepair
bacteria running rampant 
feeding off the bones of the dead

decay cannot be undone
time will always bring about the irreversible spoil of the end
so the grave must be excavated before the rot spreads
because when death arrives
it remains

the only hope for the living is to
let go
and bury the dead elsewhere
