Only Lust Remains
When life is reduced to
bits of flesh in space,
what is lost and
what survives?
What passions
once lived within?
What great efforts
were given to love?
Their stories are carried
with each dying cell.
These souls
in space may
find no gods in
heaven or hell,
only curtains closing
in silence and peace.
Still, their beauty and lust remains.

Author's Note
This is a rewrite of something I wrote after reading descriptions of what happens to the human body when an airliner crashes from a cruising altitude.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.
