Threnody

A threnody is a wailing ode, song, hymn or poem of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person. The term originates from the Greek word θρηνῳδία (threnoidia), from θρῆνος (threnos, "wailing") and ᾠδή (oide, "ode"), the latter ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *h₂weyd- ("to sing") that is also the precursor of such words as "ode", "tragedy", "comedy", "parody", "melody" and "rhapsody". Synonyms include "dirge", "coronach", "lament" and "elegy". The Epitaphios Threnos is the lamentation chanted in the Eastern Orthodox Church on Holy Saturday. John Dryden commemorated the death of Charles II of England in the long poem Threnodia Augustalis, and Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a "Threnody" in memory of his son. more »

Caught in a cage that's clear as reflection
Broken glass
Skin deep depth charge
Self-controlled no power of retention
Heaving mass
Peeled off with shards

No second chance to make first impression
Shattered cast
Push in pull hard
Torn from the meat and trash the depression
Bleeding blast
Clawed out from lard

Slowly now it's rid of flesh
As its innards turn exposed
Dying rot until it's dead
Slowly now it's rid of flesh

Slopped in blood that's slick with repulsion
Nerves inflamed
Screams locked inside
Slumped in a heap from excessive expulsion
Liquids drain
Shedding this hide

Pinned in a pose pristine presentation
Skin in skeins
Drown in riptide
Dead display waits for observation
Nothing feigned
In death feel pride

Slowly now it's rid of flesh
As its innards turn exposed
Dying rot until it's dead
Slowly now it's rid of flesh
