Forest of Death (morbidity)

by Insomnia (Amy J. Kline) - Virgo

A black garden
of gray skull flowers,
rotten fruit
on leafless trees.

I walk in silence
through
the Forest of Death,
a natural cemetery.

Where corpses
form mountains,
mass graves...

and vultures
smile
at the hideous feast.

Where bodies
turn to liquid
in the rancid air.

Where Death overpowers Life...
and I wade through the gore.

Reason for writing:

    imagining dark places, full of death and peace.
