Carcass is a poem written by Nisha Raviprasad and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Owning Your Light
Into my broken spirit
pranced the dusty air
wake up! cried the urban logs
mutilated, ugly faces
loomed into my head
My head is empty
so is this tomb I live in
no shiny pebbles with me
just rugged rocks for keeps
Wake up! cried a dying crow
come lay beside me
in death, you shall find solace.
