Ruin Poem by Sara Katherine Dickson

Ruin



Standing upon a dream carcass
I ponder
Who holds my identity
Since I am no longer me?
Under my feet
Bloody, crimson muscle glitters under the red sun
And where once was a beating heart and a living body
Naught remains but a pile of smoking flesh and bones.
Standing there
A maniacal laugh escapes me
Who am I?
I am but a ruin of what I once was.
