Dead Souls

Haunted Echoes. Haiku

By Novel AllenPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

🌳

Splinter

Split me from the trunk,

I’ll bleed sap and crimson red

Still screaming in Death.

🌳

I've come to die here

Guts rend open like the tree

Waiting to devour.

🪵

Becoming Bark

Bloodied silence screams

wrapped in rings of time and root

I chew through the bleed.

🌿

Memory’s Vessel

The tree remembers

When I ate my shadow’s weight

Death's Putrefaction.

🌳

I am buried here

Haunting...fused bark and being,

Skin, rotted, decayed.
