IX

Now broken with regret and shame they collapse

Nestled into the marrow of the fallow earth,

Needing only rest in the cooling tendrils of dirt and blood that trickle across them.

Né de nouveau, their trek leads them towards the grave

Necrosis having taken hold in their limbs,

Nascent corpses, they subside with grave finality into a dead collective.
