Zombie

ever since they dug me up
the earth has not ceased

its worm-like murmur in
my inner ear

i bruise so easily my blues
go deeper than the skin

food loses all flavor
i forget how to chew

and it’s so hard to lift
my feet off the ground

it turns out the spirit moves
in dance steps

which come only to those
who can still sleep
