Zombies (Haiku Sequence)

my neighbors still slept

as the zombies crept through town

they awoke undead

 

mom threw a grenade

the zombie blew up, alas,

blood got in her mouth

 

gunning down zombies,

my arm was bitten. weeping,

i hacked it clean off

 

later i saw mom

dead-eyed, moaning, and ******

and slit my lone wrist

 

nora burned the stairs

zombies piled up beneath her

rotten hands grasping

 

nora stayed upstairs

after five days of terror

she starved to death there

 

dad was cleverest

he fled to the Atlantic

to escape by boat

 

wading through driftwood

he found a russian u-boat

full of gnarled corpses

 

not dead as they seemed

the kremlin zombies leapt up

and ate my dad's brains
