Pansies (Lawrence)/Dead People

​

DEAD PEOPLE
When people are dead and peaceless
they hate life, they only like carrion.

When people are dead and peaceless
they hate happiness in others
 ​with thin, screaming hatred,
as the vulture that screams high up, almost inaudible,
hovering to peck out the eyes of the still-living creature.
