Noone

 

                                      Noone nullifies light

dark gray cleanses

blood

 

of impurity

skin of blemish 

 

Noone prayers

pharynx

 

without words

soars the severed skull free

of human shape

 

Noone buries life

 

the pit

corpse

crop

 

unclean

geology rot

the clean

air

 

Noone was here/is

smile the leg

the road

 

without body
