Sores cauterized

With burning sand

Bones exposed

Cracking skin

Crawling away

Crumbling away

Beneath howl and shriek

Phantom lacerations

Manifesting unreasonable agony

Struggling to suffer

Suffering for naught

Carrion birds

Tear at long-dead flesh

Dead and still suffering

Dead and still suffering

Dead and still suffering

Dead and still

Phantom lacerations

Suffering for naught

A crushing realization

Dead and still

Phantom lacerations

Suffering for naught

A crushing realization

Endless wander
