corpse gas
saucer white eyes
my carcass embalmed
in morphine like solitude
one once asleep has,
again to earth i walk ,
wondering what hunger
would be like
if i had any innards left at all,
having served my incarceration
in wooden box below ground,
it was a hiccup
that startled me,
how could i,
i gulped in air but
no internal gases,
oh hang on
i had those of decay
my breath must stink,
and wanted to cease
this jerking that
made my walk lopsided,
beyond the gates
a town not so familiar
my house someone else’s
stood on clipped lawn
i hiccuped gain more loudly
looked around it was dark
and silent,
are you a monster
i jumped,
looking down at a little girl
who startled me so
and my hiccups stopped,
no i just have wind
Pitiful Fear of Being Undead
when you see things at night
from that pointed edge of eye,
lack of concentration makes you
fall,
with split dusty lip
blood in a trickle,
there are things that need
to bite to eat,
so hold your breath
and let a simple fear grow,
lurking in the doorway
bareheaded prowler of the night,
heart a ticking clock
raising a clamor
no mortal creature approaches,
mopping blood on paper tissue
red stain dropped scented a plenty,
he has strayed from his paradise
and i am to be his chalice,
teeth and lips taste my flesh,
memories blend and blur,
heart slows to a dull stutter,
revelations pause and pass,
i will go to earth
a blacken chrysalis
and raise my fear another day
