Poetry

coughing up a caustic mixture

of emphysemic spittle

pyoid bronchial slush

rancid mucous and gristle

fetid, spumescent and nocuous

purulent internal inflammation

rotting slowly from the inside out

catabolistic degradation

a foul visceral fluid

rises from deep inside

lavaging noxious flood

a nauseous regurgitated tide

the carcinogens multiply

in atrophied profusion

dire internal excoriation

well being is an illusion

deep inside your putrid chest

deep inside your putrid chest

gasp and claw and fight for breath

gasp and claw and fight for breath

strangled by your latest retch

strangled by your latest retch

your disease will be your death

your disease will be your death

surreal poetry
