Consuming Grief |
Mourners gather around the fire |
To honor those passed away |
Consanguines have the duty |
To dissect, prepare, decorate |
Affines take the burden to devour the flesh |
Of the ones that they held dear within their hearts |
Familiar body pieces that may have once caressed |
Now to be served for consumption |
As they have to submit |
The beloved body |
For dismemberment |
Grief intensifies |
A fevered chorus of keening and crying |
Ritual method to keep spirit from lingering |
Several days of decay |
Made the corpse so putrid |
Stench so overwhelming |
Legs and arms |
Dead and neck |
Placed on sticks |
Reluctantly devoured |
Eaters of the dead |
Heart and liver wrapped in leaves to be roasted |
Genitals and intestines thrown onto the fire |
Mournful feast continues |
Throughout the night |
Until the flesh is entirely |
Cannibalized |
Pathways erased |
Scenery soon altered to avoid memories of the deceased |
House burnt to the ground |
Belongings destroyed |
Names to never be |
Spoken again |
