VULTURES

 

Vultures descend

upon my withered body

in some strange pecking order

of who gets my liver

and who gets my spleen.

 

My eyes are

greatly desired horse divers

with a juicy brain

for an entrée. 

 

These nightmarish visions

ravage my dreams

and I swear 

I’ll never order

pepperoni pizza

at midnight again.

If my mind is the chariot we're getting there slow.  It keeps breaking down.  thanks for the comment.

thanks, but ultimately still

thanks, but ultimately still not as frightening as my childhood Chitty Chitty Bang Bang nightmare.
