Carcass (9/15/25)

TW: slightly graphic description of dead animal

This ones about a dead seagull i saw while at the shore. Its a butterfly cinquain!

Text Reads:

Carcass

Drifting backwards

Grease slick feathers catch foam

To shield its ruby red innards

Sinking

Drowning

Carrions wine stains saltwater

Flesh swirls in waves like snow

I can feel it

Fading

Sorry this one is a bit gloomy, more happy stuff next time i promise!!

Dear poet,

you lied. Your next one is just as gloomy. But there is beauty here, as it is there.

Seek heaven through violence.

Dear reader,

You're completely right, I forgot about my promise. I'm glad you found beauty in them both despite my mistake.

Dear poet,

Ah, these things happen. It is not like we can esily stop the flow of creativity once we set it in motion, no?
