Morbidity - Landmine Marathon

Hunted in starvation with extinction slicing at the heel

One long raven braid takes several days to burn

Scalps are covered in boils

Echo the sight of a festering sun

Infested oneself with ivory maggots

Rage takes over dismembered bodies

Begin to pile against the stone

Like rag dolls torn into pieces

Two children are left in the cold night’s air

Their lips crack open

Skin of the earth begins to bleed

Trembling as they rot in fear

Stalking them are pretty shadows

Singing a lifeless note with each breath

Scaling with morbidity

Claws grasping at the broken branch

No tracks to cover last moment of sanity

An abscess burrows deep inside of reason

She clasps his hand while eyes roll

Into another shattered film

He roots out his own bones

As a sacrifice stricken adversary

Coiling over harvesting eyes

Upon the laden martyrs with morbidity

Mourning each extremity like a broken branch

Offering a sacrifice is insignificant

In this realm of agony
