CADAVER

A tingle circulating through muscles

The breath of rot lingers in the air

She opens her cavernous tissues

Releasing a gale of putridness

The ages of envy and ego residing deep in the fleshy folds

A dull light, blandly comes through her eyes

Her narrow and pale lips stretch

Around the yellow tinged teeth

As peace settles on the dawning day

She prolongs her inhalations and exhalations

Revealing all that decomposes in the depths of her plotting

She caresses her snaking yellow strands

As the odor of decay exits through her nostrils

A struggle to breathe from a different angle

Attempting to evade the circulating stench

Of an earth bound cadaver
