Skin seeming so translucent
Hollow sullen peeking veins
Flesh falling away
Thoughts penetrate
Outer layers of the core
Through to rotting column
Eyes - see straight to the bleeding
heart - open up aorta and feed
The voracious wolven tongues
Ventricles filled with black bile
Mourn the last moon and lady-lament
As she falls
toward the sun
Horrendous distension
Violent internal egress
Disa**embled by forces unknown to you
Pulled into petty pieces
Praying pitifully for pretty ends
So scared for life is slipping
d**h polished to perfection
Eyes of scorn fall on scorched skin
Soiled and abased, to mortify
An age spent chastened, berated, bashed aside
Skinned in endless torture
swallowed in
chide
Inside
We fight
Inside
We die
