CARCASS

By S. M. Lincoln



Noble monster

Step beyond the grotesque

The carrion by your feet are rotting in ruin

The war is lost, forgotten, forlorn

And you stand upon this field of bone

Alone and uncertain

Waiting, waiting

Where the foetid meets the tender fat

It’s foul and finite, and it feasts, feasts

 

You look beautiful beneath this lurid light

Come closer, see the rictus grin gaping in my chest

Rend my flesh

Tear out my teeth

Peel back the skin that wraps my ribs until —

— until

 

For one glorious moment, I thought you meant to kill me
