The Grim, It Grins

coracaodacripta

They say the body does not betray, but pertain

To a nature of compromise in any sense of the word

And there yet has been the ridicule of its promulgation

Writ large the inhumanity - that of which incorrigibly resisted

With which persists

And adamantly exists.

 

Flesh of the face drained to a gray and chest exposed

Spineless and supine, one with the disrepair of rotting groves

Ribcage protruding its sinew skin in grooves.

    A dark and slightly gruesome write, which I kind of enjoyed

    Skeletal in nature, let's get down to the bare bones. A most interesting read that seems a bit grim and darkly haunting.

      This is an inspiring response. I will be writing something related to it. Thank you
