Tree Of Corpse's
By Strataic
I ran my digits
Along a tree
One day...
Consumed by
Twilight.
Yet beautiful
Was this plant's
Decadence.
Feeling bark
Smooth and moist,
At first, I could
Only stare in place.
Hair grew on rainy days.
But
I was enticed
Into touching,
The weathering's.
Bodies;
the trunk.
Leaves just over
Grown nails.
Twigs but
arms and legs.
As I forced
My finger through
A strangers
eye.
My insides recoiled....
There's a space
Waiting for me.

If I could place the face of shock disgust and mortification right here that would be my comment. Plus well done.

You need no apostrophes but one, Dear. You core down into the depths of me with this one...perhaps i was a tree, once. They took my trees away several times...seems everywhere i go they do so. The nails were broken, the arms and legs pulsing with white blood...each one i lost dug a hole inside me. i know that feeling, and the feeling of being returned to One within the tree. *sigh*

Whoa and it sounds like an Ent gone bad maybe? Think I might have seen this tree on Monty Python's Holy Grail maybe - a great visual you bring to life Cipher, well done.
