Not a horror flick

Ghost-faced balloon tied to a grave marked Silas Vance 1893 under full moon

I walk through the graveyard on a moonlit night. It is not a horror flick, but a silvery land of surprise.

Multiple faces pop out of graves – some sleeping in serenity, some hanging from a tree, and some brandishing a weapon.

I feel the earth move beneath my feet as my hands explore the chill in the air.

shapes of memories
seeded in lives they once touched
explode beneath graves

  1. This haibun carries a haunting beauty that lingers in the mind long after reading. What makes it especially compelling is the way it transforms the graveyard from a place of fear into a landscape of memory, mystery, and quiet human presence. The moonlit atmosphere feels cinematic, yet deeply introspective.
