I peel off my fingernails;
I pick off my toes.
I pluck out each eyeball;
I snap off my nose.

I unhinge my elbows;
I dig out each lung.
I let spill my intestines;
I bite out my tongue.

I rip off each eyebrow;
I twist off my hips.
I yank out each canine;
I pull off my lips.

I squeeze out my liver;
I break off my chin.
I tear off my ears;
I slip out of my skin.

One by one go my limbs
And organs and parts;
They were used but not loved,
So I take them apart.

After my body is gone,
And disposed of somewhere

Leaving no dreams, worries, memories,
Nor a voice in the air

Will someone
Please tell me
If something’s still there.
