[bodytext] => Suffice to say, no one wanted to see The body ripped, limb from limb. Devastatingly clear of how fragile life was Of how frail we were. It gave proportion A sense of what we really were, It scared and shocked all for the most part, Others grew angry in embarassment. I ducked behind the crowd and drew breath It came hard and sharp, it slithered in me Upwards, seeking the light, it spilled In strips of realisation, the vomit poured Leaked onto the ground. Each wound stabbing In my eyes, with each dreaded, cleaning retch. I staggered, empty, away, I didn't need or want To be with the remnants of life. I wanted To escape, I needed to clog my memory With uselessness, just to erase this partial Impure state of the human body. Falling to my knees a voice greeted me, Dark and deep, soothing to hear A wolf of great size, admirable, at the least He spoke softly, the kind of comforting voice That I needed to hear. I knew then that he was right Life was just an introduction, what came after Would be sublime. I heeded his call, accepted His offer laid down, looking forward, slipped Into unconsciousness, through belief and want As he began to dismember me.
