Swollen heavy and motionless,
It lies on the bed.
Not a twitch or a turn.
Like a soft, numb and cold log afloat.
The surrounding flame is still weak
Hasn't reached it yet.
Teary-eyed, he held it one last time.
"It is more disgusting to touch now than when it was animate".
It was obligatory to touch, so he did.
Surprisingly, it pulled quite a crowd.
Rituals done, his job complete.
The surrounding well was dry.
The vultures waited for the crisp bones.
As darkness gripped the place, birds began to fly.
The flow of the calls, emails and messages seemed to never dry up as the well.
Sad voices and concerned words enquired how it all happened.
In the moonlight a glow arose and flew upwards.
This was it's thousandth time,
A point of no return.
It kept wondering as it left why did it ever make its way
Why was it a drop in this wave?
It lies on the bed.
Not a twitch or a turn.
Like a soft, numb and cold log afloat.
The surrounding flame is still weak
Hasn't reached it yet.
