Faster, faster, twisted on toes and <br />Broken ankles <br />Backwards arms and inverted wrists and fingers <br />Get away from me <br />Grinding, crunching bones with every movement <br />Reaching for the sky <br />Seeking salvation that never comes <br />Dried up veins and choking arteries <br />Snapped neck, bloody mouth, weeping wounds <br />Twitch, twitch, blink, blink <br /> <br />Something hideous, something beautiful <br />Click, clack, crunch <br />Bones and skin <br />Faster <br />Faster <br />FASTER! <br />Get away from me <br />Get away from me! <br /> <br />Synthetic life in there somewhere <br />Perhaps, just a flicker <br />A tremor, a jerking flash <br />Snarl <br />Twitch <br />Blink <br /> <br />I smell you breathing <br />A playground of disease, infested maggots in fetid meat <br />Get away from me! ! ! <br /> <br />Foul? <br />Yes. <br />Gruesome? <br />Of course. <br />Rotted crawling stinking wretched monster? <br />What else can I say? <br /> <br />Apart from <br />I find it the most beautiful dance <br />In all the world.<br /><br />Rebecca Kate Summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zombie-ballet/
