Left In Your Quake

Voices 

Once silenced

Hearts 

Previously broken

The women behind them

Reawakened

 

Rising 

From their graves

Tombstones 

Left obsolete

Watch 

As they grip the earth

Climbing 

To their feet

Slightly buckled at the knees

 

The sound 

Of clattering teeth

Opening their mouths

Stitches rip open

From their lips

As they let out a collective shriek
