Drip

Life leaks onto the floor
Then it fizzles like acid
There’s a knock at the door
But the body is placid

They flash a light in his eyes
Check to see if he’s conscious

Smoke

The shepherd’s pie is burning
Crust cracks from his sockets

Pulpous pus
He can’t hear us

His spirit left weeks ago
Now his flesh is hollow

Rancid rot down the drain
The rats bite at his fingernails
Rhyming riddles of pain no more
As he leaks onto the floor
