I sink
I sink
I merge
I wrap myself in earth
Til none can say where skin ceases
Or soil begins
One with the mud
Blood vessels like worm tunnels
In a body of filth
Sluggishly pumped
By my slowly encrusting heart
Undisturbed
Let me lie
Let me be the buried trinket
Let me join every woman
Who has sunk
Who has merged
Become one with the dirt
Breath no longer relevent
To our interests.
