A Few Dark Poems

Definitely gory.

RED

Red soaks through your pillow
Red stains all your sheets
Red, a path to follow
Down the stairs, into the street
Red will help me find you
Though you may crawl and hide
Red and me play peekaboo
Red's always on my side

Zipper

Plump flesh
Gnashed in a zipper’s 
Teeth
Meat
In a grinder

Kiss Me

Rain Rain
Falling down
Pitter pitter patter
On the cold cold ground
Fill me up
Float me 'round
Kiss me kiss me kiss me
Until I have drowned

Fireworks

Let them eat cakes
And mortar
Bite
BOOM!
Gleaming shards of
Teeth embedded in brain

Let them feast on
Flash paper, glut
Black powder
BOOM!
Leaky guts, dripping refuse

May Roman candles blast
Their eyes, unseeing
Landed on a candy wrapper
BOOM!
Pure white chunks 
Glory of blue iris

Glory take, then,
Their fingers 
BANG!
Cherry bomb blackened
Gaping void
Where red meat should be

At the hospital, they can sew you lobster claws.
