The old flesh stripped from ragged bones,
Tenaciously clinging, to life-long homes,
Teeth dropping, like corn-rotted kernels,
Befuddled mind, lost within mists infernal,
Hair, snowy coir, in dry straw thin strands,
Yellow talons curved, upon claw-like hands,
Pale limbs bent & crooked, groping, akimbo,
Milk eye, peering through history´s windows,
Tongue lolling within the mouth, wide gaping,
Voice silent, with words, no longer shaping,
Body & mind now rotting, within sad decay,
But the soul, oh the soul, forever here to stay.
