Run.

by panic

Beaten vines and mushrooms Growing where I once was Now broken bones and puss Organs long gone, eaten by whatever horrors could find them Someone new trying to sew the cuts closed, Only to leave bigger ones behind Eyes gouged out and tendons torn Waiting for you Vultures circle, scaring off the swarm Thread ripped out, refusing to heal Run. Thoughts decomposing with the rest Voices salvaging what they can but it's no use Not to them The mosquitoes don't care for fear But all the blood is long gone Rib cage full of snails and joints of gum Wrappers and liquor covering what once was Run. Rain filling the holes and bones long stained by sun Shattered fingers, a warning Once you're here They won’t let you leave you can’t ever go back Run.
