Conqueror of Flesh

no kind touch, this dead body. stone-breath signals the spirit is gone, returned to dust. a millionth of a second this soul walked the earth; falling short of life  by a fractioned inch of flesh; clinging to eternity, the umbilical cord of faith it's only hope. © 7/05/2000  by Donna Saulsman Friedrichs
