Dead Lip

By Virgils Vigil



Dead lip.
Shed skin
Like the animal I am.
I was. and have become
An animal too.

Dead lip.
Rolled and forgotten.
Flung onto the ground,
Decay and disolve
Into dust. Among many dusts and Lost DNA;
Lost flesh of mine
Never to be noticed
By any other in its
Slumber; a grey bed.
