I'm
De co mpo si ng

It feels like
If I were to lay down in the dirt
I would become one with the soil

I just want to rest
Let me rest
Please

Something is wrong with me
A medical anomaly
I already feel dead

Moribund
Cotard's syndrome
Mortification
I don't know what I'm doing

I don't belong here
I want to rest
I feel submerged in time and space
I'm already a part of the ground

I feel like I'm already decomposed
Flowers coming out of my mouth,
Vines under my fingernails
Please let me rest

I am already a host
To the overgrowth
Many creatures already making a home in my rotted corpse
Not a zombie, but
Not human

I'm home to a myriad of fungi
My breath is stale and empty

I want to lie down
Please let me lie down

I want to rest

Let me rest

LET ME REST
