An Explanation.

"An Explanation"

We call it

Western Zen:
Empty, well-styled rooms --
Opulent, but minimalist.

Airy, with perfect
Clean lines,
And hidden electrical jacks.

Hand-picked greenery,
Hand-made pottery --
Decor pornography
For the discerning.

But things change,

For now we face
The shambling dead,
We have been overrun
By grave-ripe corpses.

They have upset
The bowl of designer rocks,
And left cemetery stains
Upon the eco-friendly cork flooring.

I apologize.

I did not know
It would be
Such a bad day
To schedule
The "Dwell" photo shoot.
