Corpses


I find it is disheartening
-To think of corpses
Flitting on erudite stairs
-To false pediments- softening feet
With plagiarized blankets.
I once stood for something-
Colonizing a belly, painting wall flesh
As was my home. but wait instead- now
For this beast to vomit
Taken was- our chance of amalgamation

  1. We'll dance on an alabaster stone, as we mourn the existence of the living,
    In hospital gowns two-sizes too small,
    So they fit just right,
    Against our leprous skin
    That we can't feel.
    But we can fill our desirous bellies, which can feel fierce hunger pangs,
    With the transfiguration of our unfeeling corporeal forms
    Into burning stardust.
