Ayaz Daryl Nielsen- A Poem


Zombiecoup

another fallen chunk  
as the zombie sighs 
a lung detaches

zombies soaked 
by morning’s acid mist
bubbling puddle-goo

dental hygienist
screams as a maggot
falls from my nose

epidemic
tearing another friend
into beefy chunks

remote train wreck
many severely injured  
zombie magpie food

black and red dawn
fading rumble of a
graveyard nightmare 
transmogrify into this  
dead awakening. . .
grasping my wife as 
she chews on my arm

living as the dead
soon enough, whatever remains
of everyone
  
werewolf, vampire, zombie, 
oh, my!  so many shortcuts  
to immortality. . .
