This is my twenty-fifth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
This is my twenty-fifth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena, though it is leaning towards horror rather than darkness
The music I have chosen is David Bowie's "We Are The Dead" from "Diamond Dogs"
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π
The Autopsy Starts With A Cut
A Sharp Blade Pierces The Dead Skin
A Little Blood, Now See Within
The Reason That This Life Was Snuffed
π€π
Flesh Pulled Back, Body Is Empty
No Bones, No Organs, A Flesh Shell
Was This A Creature Sent From Hell
Or One From Baron Samedi?
π€π
To My Shock. Itβs Eyes Then Opened
Then From Itβs Mouth A Hellish Scream
This Is A Living Dead Hell Fiend
Awake Me From This Deathly Dream
π€π
From The Slab Rises The Hell Spawn
In This Morgue I Am Not Alone

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as βgoing down a wormhole.β Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Very cool artwork for this short dark tale.
Ooh, this is creepy. Well done.
Whoaaa, did not see that coming! This was so amazing! Such a creepy story told within a few lines. Very well executed!
Well, that's gruesome! Great imagery, though. π₯΄
