Vultures gather around us for an early morning feast.
Black flies dig at any rotten flesh around our lips and eyes.
A murder of crows wait nearby to claw out our soft parts.
Our bones once picked clean are dry and broken down.
Our remains are unceremoniously dumped into a deep dark hole
Where maggots eat all that remains of our dead bodies.
Until there remains nothing of us to show we ever lived.
