Do you remember
how your flesh crawled
your eyes stung
breath caught;
prey silenced in the bush?
Do you remember how your
mouth soured your
sense of smell tangled with your
hope, all twisted, and then
fallen ?
Oh, dearest, remember
the moment when it
all stilled
frozen in time
and you, too,
became the carrion
Only decades later to
find yourself yet alive
breathing, the entire
conviction simply a
repast of some sad
declination of your
truth
declination- a bending away
