Rotting teeth fall like autumn leaves out my decaying mouth
god(,) let me rot
Do not fear the onslaught of flesh decomposing off bone,
slipping like a fawn on winter ice.
Like an overgrown wood I am made of mossy hilled hips and dead oak branches for arms,
left to rot rot rot
I fear not, for the joints and the arteries and the veins are full of corrosion, rust; soon shall I perish to become but one of the wildflowers spotting the forest floor, feeding the stardust, digesting me slow.
