There are no words to describe being
u/n/m/a/d/e
Picked a p a r t
Until nothing but molecules remain
A fire extinguished
A corpse e~x~s~a~n~g~u~i~n~a~t~e~d
There is no peace in being broken down
When only the base remains
It doesn’t matter if you s-m-i-l-e
Or not
If you’ve showered
Or eaten
You can’t be starved if there’s nothing left to starve
You are the wisps of dust caught in a ray of sun
The carbon dioxide exhaled by everyone on this tiny p≈l≈a≈n≈e≈t
You are moonlight
Reaching for nothing
No need for physical affection
There’s no body for you to hold on to
No blessings to c'o'u'n't
Or clothes to fuss over
Just
Nothingness
