Cremains - Desecration

Open the furnace, peer in and see

Devouring fire playing on an image of mortality

Blue burning gas, slow body reduction

Bones twist and split, skeletal explosion

Cremains remain

Sightless eyes gaze upwards

To where a hole exhumes the plume of fine grey smoke

The burning chamber, a gloomy recess

With hidden gas nozzles in black sunken holes

Cremains remain

Organic components

Destroyed

Carbonized

Charred

Burned away

Complete combustion

Incinerated

Crushed

A pile of ash

Pulverized mass

Cool and silent

Remnants

Reduced to powder

Morbid dust

Just cremains

Remain

Cremains remain
