tw: graphic descriptions of rotting and dead bodies, bugs


a non metaphorical poem about rotting:


the room is humid.

i'll watch the ants and worms crawl into my rotting body,

crawl through my empty sockets,

around my bony thighs.

all they want is my rotting flesh.

they'll bite the leftover skin,

leftover meat.

hungry.

i'll never be useful,

if i'm rotten.

i'm ashamed of giving in to the insects that want my meat,

but this is all i am now.

a dead flower under your shoe.

another dying body you'll forget.
