Salt in the wound

The taste was bitter

But I was hungry enough to eat my own guts

Pulled by my heels

Dragged my face across the pavement

Erased me

I so needed to be erased

To be complete

To be finished

You wouldn't hear a scream

Just the static of so many at once

You would hardly notice

You so need to be erased

Devoured

The shell of the Earth licked clean

Not a grain of salt

The taste was bitter

But it all so needed to be erased
