    They Screech

    Death and blood alll around you,
    you scream
    Is it reality or just a
    bad dream?

    Your legs are moving
    you go nowhere.
    Fanged vixens drag
    your head by the hair.

    They pull you across
    a putrid corpse.
    Trying to scream
    vocal chords are hoarse.

    Demoness eyes watch your
    every move.
    Can’t flee the feeling of
    being their food.

    Push you in a furnace.
    You stumble.
    “Leg on a spit’d be nice”
    they mumble.

    You watch a horned imp 
    gnawing your flesh.
    Another with bulging eyes
    opens your chest.
    Watching your heart
    beating and guts on the floor.
    You try to stand.
    Harpies screeching for more.

    They prop you up,
    feed you your own arm.
    You start to chew
    And then with alarm
    you see your fingers
    in state of decay.
    They bring you your
    balls upon a tray.

    Blood soaked toes and
    sizzlin’ fat rains.
    A gun to your head
    blows out your brains.

    You remember the ache 
    at your neck when you fell.
    Like your father always told you,
    your eternity's in hell.

    Thank you. The gun to your head thing was inspired by a snuff (or fake snuff) video I saw years ago. The lady was crying to have the camera turned off and then was shot in the head. If it was fake, it was done really well. It had a profound effect on me. Thanks for reading.

    Mootpoint, It truly is a macabre nightmare of a poem but certainly opened my eyes and imagination. Crafted with fury and cannibalism. ginga

    This one sounds like a trip through the after-death Bardos of Tibetan Buddhism. Good write

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
