The mortuary of the dead was his playground of Pleasure for he was the keeper of those That had recently felt the touch. He thought he was the Adam And they were the Eves of death, So still and pretty, never a hateful Word only the silence of death. Their features Sombre & Frozen All were his to tend to, making them As what ever motion was needed Silent laughter, a wax tear Melted, fixed to cold flesh With eyes half closed, They always listened with deaf ears. He Never would taint them, Always cleans after their Quiet, Silent, Acceptance Of him touching cold flesh, He was the keeper of the dead,silence Was their gift to him, peace within a room Of death. They were in the mortuary of the Dead, and he was there guardian of Sordid pleasures that only the dead could silently give.
