Like most good stories, it started with a dead body.
In a shallow grave someone was carelessly put to rest.
Dead by something not from their own making.
Dead by someone that had half buried their tracks and run away never to be seen again.

In the shallow grave laid one dead body
For some reason the universe said "make it two "
In the shallow grave laid two "alive" beings
Body and soul one time the same, but now no more.
Two people equal, but different, all because the universe said so.
One is the body.
Living dead talking corpse.
Being of its own thoughts without a soul to be controlled by.
Two is the soul.
Creative, limitless, but lost.
With no body to restrict it no more.
They were the splitting image of each other, flowing red hair, same face, same scar, a open bloody wound in their back, the slash of their dead.
They started the same, you may assume.
Like a blank slate, their fate was diverse in their resume.
The one, the body.
was grounded to earth
Putrid body like an anchor, remembering them of their gore fate.
There are no scars that heal.
Maybe there are flowers that conceal the smell.
The sun may burn.
You may have to fight more for what you honestly earn.
Not a monster, not the devil or the evil incarnate.
Don't listen to them, just thrive with the hand given by fate.
But fear not, in this travel you are not alone.
ZombieCleo is the name we may call one.
Two is like a quiz with no truly real answer.
The soul that follows it ex-host, quick steps, poet tongue, fun in the defiance.
Some may call it haunted
Some may call it a ghost
When you live in the metaphysical spectrum, it is easy to get lost.
I can admit their image is very easy to confuse.
It can transform, it's fun to spin and be a little obtuse.
It's been a long time since two physically resemble one.
With its mimicry and expertise, today they look more human.
Brown hair, alive skin and a face he found in a book.
It's easy to say that one and two are not related if you only give a quick look.
Oh I almost forgot, two really like to present himself.
Joe Hills from national Tennessee!
What is Tennessee? I am not really certain myself.
They have their differences, Like very big fat a lot .
They truly don't are the same no more.
But is this what makes these two dynamic be so good, they are like a never ending fire in a piece of too long wood.
Who is ZombieCleo?
Who is Joe Hills?
The answers may vary.
They were the same In body and name.
Not that they really care.
They are siblings, not that they will say it out loud.
One is dead and the other is alive if you ask the crowd.
Just good friends, with a long story to tell.
From one make two
Joe Hills and Zombie Cleo.
