My chest is hollowed out
Now I am only tar
Smoke rises from my corpse
Pale but alive
Lurking somewhere in
The inner self
The shadow persists
Pious and devout
A sulker in the brine
Servant to the night
Another version
Of Myself
My chest is hollow now
Vultures pick at the flesh
Wax melts from flame
Slowly crawling
