Album: Corpus in Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism

Incision through adhesions
With attention to existing lesions
A careful separation of tissue
And essential severing of sinew
A rush as excitement peaks
Faecal septic clots reek
A general attraction to the oblique
Such pleasure as this is quite unique
Stripping this cadaver
Scavenge the remains and never
Leave the dead alone
Until they are stripped to the bone
A muttered sound from the bowels
As intestines are removed
Nerve tissue is severed
Muscle and skin is scattered
Inappropriate necropsy
A lack of medical purpose
Such behaviour is unbefitting
An honoured pathologist
Overwhelming result
All but bone removed
Some pieces are retained
To be rejoined in the lab
Stripping this cadaver
Scavenge the remains and never
Leave the dead alone
Until they are stripped to the bone
