Along that Path

She walks along that pathway

With tattered dress from the thicket

Watching as the mass of earth

***** her down, ***** her down.

 

And sink she does so far, so far

A scraping scream gurgles up

And spreads into the pitching earth

Earth wet with sweat and blood

She screams into her sweat and blood.

 

Smothering, the heat takes over

As the earth continues on

To **** her down so far down

In every drop of sweat that bulbs

And with so much blood she breaths in death’s humidity

And grasps for something tangible within reality.

 

Into the eyes of death she looks

Unnerved he watches speaking not.

A quivering lip cannot sway he to take a hold her hand in his.

And watch he does with unmoved eyes his elusive pray sink further down.

The indifferent earth breathing in the sweat and blood swallows her

Which solidifies within her lungs. He laughs as she marches on with tune

With death’s macabre band so far down. So far down, she’s ****** down.
