Decompose / POEM

Though I weep and growl

like an animal at death’s door.

Should one depart the I,

very thing that saw through me.

Along the shores with thunderous applause,

whistles and cries fills the void of my

true self.

Waves of overwhelming disgust

engulfs the soil.

It is the other

that craves for my utter destruction.

These are my kindles

and here are my flames.

Sins I brought with me

puts all who witness to shame.

Mutilated bodies of those in limbo

gives me comfort.

Silent lament for my eternal slumber.
