Locked in My Memory

                                                                                                
"Symbolically speaking, the zombie originally represented a speechless, will-less human held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated."
-- merely a fiction

My husband died--or so I thought--
his tailored coffin having bought
and buried wordless feet below
an autumn chill and early snow--
yet years am I a widow still
a zombie mute without a will.

a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of the loved one left behind
 
a revolving helios rhyme
