Three Shorts

Morgue:

The morgue was quiet in the day, and the locks on the caskets were unnecessary. Once dawn broke through the window, the morgue was perfectly safe. But I could still hear it. Though the rattling had stopped, that ceaseless pounding, those inconsolable wails, remained inside my mind. I could not dig the holes fast enough.

Echoing Knell:

There is a bell above a well,
which yet un-rung has sung.

There is a knell within the dell
that's heard among the young.

Empty Chair:

The chair sat there, empty, waiting. Uncounted years of dust lay like snow upon the ground. We waited, frozen like statues, waited for a king.
