Rot



Rot
How would it feel, if we could feel it?  
To rot in a wooden coffin? 
Stuck in a tiny place waiting for the grave worms? 
Does it take long? 
Do they pierce the eyes first? 
Do they enter the slit? 
Slowly penetrating the cold, stiff corpse? 
Would it tickle? 
The swollen corpse full of liquids and gases. 
Does it burst? 
Does the coffin get wet? 
And the smell? 
What part is the worst? 
The worms? 
The gases? 
The greenish liquids? 
What happens to the blood? 
The hair? 
The nails? 
What rots last? 
How are you, Death?
