Waterlogged Corpse
Black, cold depths entomb
Eyes gaze with a lifeless stare
Saltwater and gases bloat this monstrosity
A hideous state of decomposition
Saturated flesh pitted and blue
Digits chewed to shreds
Skull housing microscopic organisms
Bacterium feast on dilapidated brain matter
Orifices filled with minute parasites
Pressure causes anus to burst forth entrails
Waterlogged corpse drifts with the tide
Fish nibble on this rotted husk
Washed upon a barren shore
Entangled in seaweed and algae
Bodily fluids released onto the sand
A free flowing stream of excrement
Sun beats down on this swollen sack
Causing skin to dry and crack
Crustaceans bore through
Feeding on rented meat
Insects inhabit the carrion shell
Planting their seed
Carcass will be utilized
As a host to newborn larvae
