questions for Them — a poem

1. how does it feel to build a house over my corpse?

2. do you see my blood pooling up under the floorboards?

3. or did you clean, delete the evidence?

4. can you smell my rotting flesh?

5. or have you acclimatised to the stench?

6. did my annihilation matter to you?

7. was it worth it?

8. is it still?
