BURIED ALIVE
by Chrissy Engstrom

two blue eyes flutter
open,
and instantly fill with
dirt and tears.
arms flurry about
to no avail.
the body writhes
in this earthen grave

buried early
gasping for air,
hoping for death.
earth worms slide
between limbs
fingers curl through mud
black grains embedded
beneath finger and toe nails.

two blue eyes cease to move
the body goes limp
silence
The Struggle Has Ended.
