Like A Scene From An Eli Roth Movie

We found poor
Natalie stripped,
hanging and
dripping blood
into a candle
that's beneath her.

Dead

My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

Nude Sunbather Massacre

Linda was sunbathing outside naked.
That's before she saw Mark with daggers.
She screamed before he slashed.

and it’s little enough relief   ..

yes, we discuss occasionally
who we’d prefer to die first
and we both name the other
to spare each other the grief

Ophelia

rues of my maddening hue
trails unto thus beckoning
brook- I drown in melancholic
ecstasy, freeing your demons

Checking Out

I can't think anymore
My head is a room swarming with cockroaches
Can you please exterminate me?
