Dead Body
November 20, 2017
I watch the body
A corpse
I refuse to think of it
As their body
My loved one
My tears touch the fur of another creature
The creature that use to inhabit here is gone
Gone with the last breath
I imagine that on the last breath
The soul goes with
A gust of wind almost
Leaving its home
Leaving a corpse
A puppet without a puppeteer
The end of the show
Curtain close
