Lying on the slippery pavement
The girl struggles to sit.
Relief and worry fight for control
On the faces of the bystanders.
The man in the truck hops down,
Takes a step toward her mangled body.
But this is as close as he gets as horror grips his eyes.
Maggots are crawling in her mouth,
Falling out past bloody lips.
She struggles to explain
But the people are all running.
She is alone, as she was before.
Oh well.
The girl stands, brushes the worms off
And walks down the street.
Entering her favorite cafe,
She fingers a bun.
Instantly the pastry ignites and is gone.
No food may reach her lips.
Sighing, the girl walks to the bridge.
Knowing it won't help, she jumps.
The impact shatters her bones,
The cold water welcomes her limp body.
Opening her eyes she awakens,
And halfheartedly pulls her dead body to the shore.
