Death sees through his mouth
Do not become distracted
By his painted eyes.

with eyes pitched in black
sweet nectar of crimson red
quenching the undead

red as Prego :oops:

it's all in there
the grotesque the sublime
the undead the unborn
immortal mundane
the spirit of poetry
being the music
I can't imagine

thank you all for the poetry
She is twice the man I am.

Throbbing pulse rate escalating

The Banality of Evil
adorno auschwitz
Hiroshima Jonestown
Rwanda Joseph Conrad
Vampires bite
and tax imagination
changes are done
slouching towards Verdun
Poetry is all there is
to dwell in
