Art Explained by A writer - Peasant Burial
They gathered on the field
It was a shiny day
They kept their heads down
-not to grieve but to whisper_
So, he's dead?
Yes, finally...
Are you sure?
A shoe poked into the dirt
A shovel in the hand
The old man kept his eye on the covered corpse
One said a few words
Out of dust you were made and you will return...
She held her breath
-Something was wrong with those words said-
So did the young boy
Counting the minutes
Pinned
A stake showed
Purple flowers
The smell of garluc
Damned is it hot
The neighbour mumbled
When can we leave
Anyone in for a beer?
No sweat, he said
Let's celebrate
As they turned around
The dirt moved
Wait, you bastards!
The hated voice echoed through the air
One well-aimed swat
The spade ended it all for good.

Jajaja. Todos lo odiaban, y él lo sabía. Por eso lo "remataron" con la pala. Seguro que ahora sí podrán vivir en paz todos los que asistieron al funeral. ¿O no? Eso nunca se sabe, dicen los espíritus vagan y saben atormentar a los que están vivos aún, jeje. Me encantó leerte.
Menos mal que ha pasado Halloween. Lo más probable es que acabaran en el pub celebrándolo. No se preocupe por el día de mañana que es a menos que sea un vampiro.
Jajaja.
