Mourning Pages - Day 5

I am haunted

memories like voices

fill

this empty space

where my heart leaches out

onto ivory parchment

too consumed 

with terror

that my words

would spill 

over the edges

unable to sop up

the gush of grief

disintegrating

all  remaining 

form

skin

and

bones

to

pulp

grief

my ashen 

remains
