    Recalls the haunting ‘Mirror Sonnet: How to Rise from the Dead’, by Annabelle Moseley:

    And like a funeral in New Orleans,
    where jazz sounds are synonymous with death
    or like the painted skulls among the scenes
    of Mexico’s Day of the Dead—each breath
    Ezekial took as he prophesied
    resounded over those dry bones and shook
    them with God’s heady music. Homicide
    or natural cause, each skull could rise and look
    at its old body with new eyes. What then?
    […]

    You’ll want to read the rest at Dappled Things.
