Haunting Fell Shadows

A haunting fell shadow touching the ground  
in the anatomy of a heron dressed in a corset  
of a requiem watching the moon rise  
tormented souls wearing patches of the dead    
walking across lagoons were shadows fed  
screaming in delirium  
deboning marrow of twilight soup bones    
floating in the graves of blood's charade  
in a coquettish amputation of castration  
giving in to the genitalia's labia majora  
and the harrowing of the screaming clitoris
of death's obliteration  
in the anatomy of a heron dressed in a corset
