Necrotic Apologues

Disgusting apologues teach grisly parables
 Didactic explorations of putrefying stiffs
 Decay: a fact of nature most allegorical
 The fetid realizations quickly make me sick
 Pathology turned philosophy
 Seminar and necropsy
 Stippled flesh fouled with soot spell a gruesome clue
 Spatter patterns ink confessions sanguinely penned
 Pieces found in garbage sacs point to sober truths:
 Life is terminal and contritely spent
 Bloated sage on my table
 Spins a rancid, age-old fable
 Slime and rot
 Pock and clot
 Corpse gives in
 To pathogens
 Hack the mess
 Quite distressed
 The face below
 Is my own
 Pathology-warding litany
 Autopsy-tragic finale
 The splattered carcass stagnates
 It seeps slick purge onto the floor
 It heralds our own fates
 Destinies described in gore
 Abraded rope compression marks underline the fact
 Mangled corpses offer postmortem viewpoints
 Ragged stab wounds carve futile warnings
 Jutting knife hilts like dripping exclamation points
 Vomitus epiphany
 Emeritus, so reeking
 Bilious slag
 Blood-soaked slab
 Wasting host
 Hot compost
 To my chagrin
 Gross Doctrines
 Consume my thoughts
 Amidst the rot
 Pathology-warding litant
 Autopsy-tragic finale
