A snap burns the air
Which soon finds its way through
A rupture of bone.
Heat bleeds
Leaching from the exposed mind
Giving way to eternal cold.
The body wanes, slows
And fails, life consumed.
No floating above your body,
No dark tunnel, no bright light.
No distant relatives or long dead pets
Waiting to greet you.
Everything you've ever heard about
The afterlife is a lie.
Spirit bound to the flesh
Indivisible.
Trapped, prisoner in a useless body
Forever.
Self conscious, observing the passage of time, though
Powerless.
The soul does not transcend,
It is the sum of all your parts.
Like ash and dust, it too decays.
