Beyond the Shell

Disconnected

From the mind and the body

My soul

Is drifting

Away from me

I have seen my bones

I have felt my skin

Unconscious impulses

Chain a bond to them

A fire in the liver

Burns away my flesh

Bursting the stitches

Salted wounds afresh

Disfigured and contorted

A nameless heap of flesh

The body

Unneeded

For what happens next

An essence

Vacates the living shell

Unguided

Destination too obscure to tell

My mind

My body

My heart

My soul

Your home

Your eternity

Your rotted bones

The sky

Tears open

To a burning sun

Staring

At the light

It all becomes one

Forgetting

The body

The cosmos

Offers its hand

Shooting out into the void

At the speed of light

Unbounded by the vessel that

Once held you tight

Beyond the border

Beyond the shell

A vast expanse of nothingness

An eternity of hell
