1. TIGHTEN THE TOURNIQUET

Blood unloads from my vein
Spurts of purple; deepened red
Scarlet dyed cloth can't seal the stream
It won't help around the neck

Apply the strap
Compress the opening
Twist the stick
Excessive spewing

Profuse bleeding
Loss of all feeling (relief)
Liquidation vestibules
Strangulating bronchial (tubes)

Eyes swimming, in lacrimal
I fountain away, at each breath
Rivulets bubble in my mouth
A spouting arc of beady flecks

Face screwed up in agony
Pigments sifted from the structure
Sheer fatigue; grasp at death
Exiscated, dimunated, discolored

The crimson tide splashes
It sways, twirls and loops
Out of the artery and into the air
It gyres though like a bolt

Lying defleshed swastika
Face down, act of pronation
A accrual, coat of grime
An abolion, eradiction, extration, distallation

In a dream it is my will
My suicidal search
Immense tear, where the throat should be
The crevice continues to spurt
My wish is die; or is it to live?
The epiglottis drowns in blood
I wake up knowing the answer to all
It's from her neck! I'll watch the flood.


2. GERM FARM

Bred within unwilling rodents
Prey; The inner predators latch
The moving dead; carriers of microbes
Their death is post poned untill the hatch

The living seeds of disease
Hibernate, wait patiently
Expanding while feeding on tissue
Slow death is what they issue

Insides burrowed hollow
Devour digest swallow
Spread inflict perfect

They multiply in hunger and size
To populate conquer and rise
Anticipate time of release
The humans will fall in disease

Into food and water consumed by all
Incubating the organs in which they
Crawl
Start with the deltoid, gorge to an arm
Reminiscent of what began on the germ
Farm

Snack on yellow fat
Layer upon layer
Rip away red muscle

Tannish pink intestines
Blush membranes
Networks of blood vessels
Satify the grave.
