Gruesome but effective.

gruesome? hmm. all the graves are above ground so they DON'T get flooded (as NO is below sea-level). THAT would be gruesome! this is really nice. simple, where everyone else, especially me, fails in the haiku.

yeah, but in "the good old days' they didn't used to be. that's exactly why...but then, you probably knew about the yellow fever?

I was thinking more a long the lines of living people. Refrencing spirits or mood. Either way it works.9

Very nice. That last line took me aback. I had to re-read it to make sure I read it correctly. Good imaging.
