//The Impatient Corpse//

//The Impatient Corpse//
Yoke the body,
bait the corpse

A stark outlaw,
I strive for passions without desire.


There's a less developed Promethean end to this tucked away but this first part is what I was happy with up to now besides maybe the use of the phrase "stark outlaw" by which I don't intend to convey any sense of machismo but rather just an intense alienation.

Left

unwrapped,
the joy we had
yesterday before
your mom called
to say your father's brain
tumor is cancerous
has staled
and must be thrown out
