Laden fragments
pulled into one
by gravity
weighing beyond
the measure of man
this albatross
speckled with this
and that
quite beautiful
in actuality
inside it lives
and breathes

like the stale stench of the dying

like the stale stench of dying...i liked how you finished up the poem, but personally i would have like to see a little bit more discription, i think the short sweetness of it works, but i would have liked to of seen a little more...

Niiice. It gets progressively more enthralling, all the way to the last line. I love it.
