the carcass is mute
silence frozen in the moment
its death

the shearing of metal
on flesh

a fingerprint of the collision
of skin
 
long-armed shadows
hieroglyphic renderings

a hushed whisper of ancient days
the roar of an engine
in an echoing chamber
body's cavities
forgotten scrawls on a temple wall

blood-red enamel
rust streaks on chrome

the crone body print speaking
what no longer feels
