my neighbors still slept
as the zombies crept through town
they awoke undead
——————————————————
mom threw a grenade
the zombie blew up, alas,
blood got in her mouth
——————————————————
gunning down zombies,
my arm was bitten. weeping,
i hacked it clean off
——————————————————
later i saw mom
dead-eyed, moaning, and bloody
and slit my lone wrist
—————————————————— nora burned the stairs zombies piled up beneath her rotten hands grasping —————————————————— nora stayed upstairs after five days of terror she starved to death there —————————————————— dad was cleverest he fled to the Atlantic to escape by boat
——————————————————
wading through driftwood
he found a russian u-boat
full of gnarled corpses
——————————————————
not dead as they seemed
the kremlin zombies leapt up
and ate my dad’s brains
