A yellow demon caresses his body
Gnawing
Scratching
Eating
Laying eggs in crevices
Broken scraps of tissue
Sprouting children walk the surface
Feeding on the Corpse
Raising their torches to the sphere above
Flaming
Burning
Boiling
They ride the licorice veils of the moon
Charging
Stampeding
Each breath he takes
A war
They suffocate his lungs
Strangling
Stomping
Laughing
A yellow demon caresses his corpse
The next victim
Unaware
