A Poem by Everett Dulin
"

continuing on the theme of self sabotage, this one is iffy.

"
do you recall
my dying cadaver?
it was once a home,
i remember.

i tear, and gnaw
peeling, molding.
my skin of clay.
unwanted etches of glory.

the kiln. i reside,
never firing.
just a cold desolate pot
char constantly reminding.

my hands,
once guiding.
shaped beyond,
anything worth saving.

wow, I'm shocked by the metaphors and descriptions, man. It's really heavy and deep.
"do you recall
my dying cadaver?
it was once a home,
i remember." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?
and the last part. AMAZING
