"The
Reinvention of the Dead by the Eternal Power of Worms"
Painting

Carmella Sibio
"Deep
beneath the earth lies what remains of myself. I am lying still with my
tongue reaching up for moisture from within the mud that covers me. Still
I lay making friends with the thousands of worms that surround me. I am
not terrified yet remain in a flux of constant beauty and see the worms
change into a golden state. My brain is complex sifting through the
earth to reach the power of the soul. Riding upon a green and gold chariot
my red tongue helps me to reach the space of infinity – life everlasting.
