Death Warmed Over

Outside a small and evil dog
Its teeth connected to my leg
The neighbors cluck and drag it in
Fresh flesh dangling from its jaws

I bleed out on cracked asphalt
My body cooling in the sun
Forgotten as the day wears thin
One more stiff under the stars

But once again I gain my feet
Shamble forth, snapping teeth
The neighbors and their fucking dog
Glimpse the End of Days beyond the smog

I witness my brethren on the rise
Fury sparking in their eyes
Hunger in numbers by my side
As Death, at last, regains some pride.
