Barnswallow Dies

by barnswallow - Capricorn

foul ruin this soul
that flew first 'till feathers' loss
cost the wind her air, unaware
'till each hair was lost in the weather

storm stole my flesh...
hale stones stripping bone
ruined bones
falling in gust scattered dust.

what a shame to inhabit an empty place
without a face, glad craven eyes
cleaving the dark mad lair
'till ants, snails and maggot gods
reveal themselves superior.
