Scorned
By Diana Matusewic
Discarded human remains
Alive
In spite
Standing upright
Bones
Pressed
Against
Burning entrails.
Avalanche of maggots
Mandible collapses
Black and green water
Erupts
From
Vacant sockets
Evaporating
Into
Echoing
Screams…
Audible to everyone but rivals
Responsible for infernos
But
Cast
Blame
On skeletons
Left on stakes
Unaware
Of the monsters they create.
