smoke

dissolving
i feel the tension ease
the pores of the skin expanding

muscles letting go
flesh falling off the bone
there's no sadness involved

being eaten
by licking flame
in vague circle patterns

wilting
crumbling
melting
decomposition of the bigger parts

the remaining pieces
now translucent
and vague

can no longer make out
what it used to be

memory has dissolved
with the spores of mould
that got cleaned up
by antibacterial on the j cloth
