Replying to a comment on:
Reaction: Photo-Hung Over the Euphrates (Free verse) by eyrbare
God, I never knew a body could bend like that
A marionette,
caught on the rafters
Played like a fool
The right leg hangs down, bent at the knee
touching what is left of an arm,
perhaps it's the elbow.
Forming a square
a window,
framing the heavens
Cold and black.
The chest is brown
The rest like coal.
Cold and black.
The teeth, white, gaping,
polished as the soul fled
the fire enveloping it,
screaming its way out.
