he
met the devil's
sister
began the courtship
of lies
stood beside
swollen hand signed
with the ink
of her black soul
waste blood
been spent
years past
she marked him
face carved
hair whitened
hands scarred
carefully placed
unknown
he became
that which she
had sought
now distorted
wretching
bile bathed
living dead
in a box
walls transparent
carrion writhing
maggott infected
vultures peer
awaiting deaths
completion
beautifully blooming
while eyless bastards
beelzebubs
children
feed on decay.
