Before Bed (after the horror movie) (31 of 365)

Welcome to day 31 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day - Exculpatory: Exculpatory evidence is evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial that exonerates or tends to exonerate the defendant of guilt. 

Before Bed (After the horror movie)

Subsumed in ashes

I lie here and I'm not sure

I don't know how much longer

I have

Is this what this pulling sensation is

Death had her claws into me

They are cold and cloying 

Dare I raise my head 

Subject myself to Darwinism

For curiosity

The monsters are coming

They are coming for me 

Here in this dark deep place

Stagnant and damp

Rotting

What was that?

What am I ? 

I can feel it now tearing through my

Heart this is life or death

This is an avalanche

Hear that roar so beautiful and tragic

The spurs and slurries of ice

Torn assumed unanchored

There is a chaos to this lifeless place

How deep can my skin stick

Into the mud before I become it

My final exculpatory dream

That upon the unravelling 

There will be golden gates an after

That there will be solace from hell

Reincarnation 

Worse still absence 

What if instead 

Like dreads gnawing finger

All was muted and 

I am silenced forever.
