The veil of pale roux

Pale roux of death
shadow to obscure complete
last gasp for breath
hemoglobin slowly leaks
 
Its trickle  
just a Penny Dreadful
keeps coming back never spent  
the recurring bent nickel
 
Seeping gore  
blood across the floor
dissecting each small slice
menaced grin of Vincent Price
 
Evil innuendo
sharks black eye, unblinking
the roll of drums crescendo
red warning lights without an inkling
 
Neck hair
standing rigid, heartbeat palpitating
screaming gulls swarming near
the mob intent on slaying
 
Wolves cry
the pack that circles
killing moon so high
 ripping justifies the heckles
 
Savage feast
blood lust the domino effect
do you deserve a seat
pale roux of death replete
