the resurrectionist dug up a corpse
in coopers graveyard in 1562
to sell to a local doctor for medical needs.
the corpse had a stone in its mouth,
which the resurrectionist unwittingly
removed from its decaying jaws,
and the corpse sprang to life.
fangs emerged from its mouth;
its eyes become two evil orbs
that glowed in the dark night.
the resurrectionists too shocked to move
became the vampire’s easy prey,
and to this day the resurrectionists
lay in graves in coopers graveyard
with stones in their gaping mouths.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
