The Undead

I turn a corner from the pumpkin patch

And see a bridge not far from where I lie

But before I can venture too much farther

I am stopped by their gruesome cries

I see them coming now

See the flesh peeling from their face

See the numbers coming for me

As they scream their need for my taste

As they get closer I notice the details

That I never wanted to know

The grime that is caked under their shredded nails

And the stench of something unknown

I manage to run, faster than they’ll be

But I stop when I hear them cry out

I catch a glimpse of something running by

Distracting them and drawing away the crowd.
