when the forensics team
(each besuited in a
crisp white jumper)
pried open the coffin
of Pablo Neruda
all that they found were
the bones of a man
named Neftali Basoalto
(lightly desiccated)
and a short note
which read
"Gone dancing.
Back at..."
but the bottom part
was missing
so the forensics team
scratched their heads
and did a slow pirouette
like white tops
revolving
