The Car Crash by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

In the shadows of 

Night they rise

From the realm 

Of life's demise.


Speeding cars 

On weathered roads

The undead souls

With nowhere to go


Headlights collide 

Metals screech

A motorway pile up

More bodies to eat


This crash a collision 

Of worlds entwined

Metal on metal

A fate maligned


In the havok's wake 

The undead crawl

Twisted limbs

Eyes, blood pools


From the wretched spoils, 

they stagger free,

Flesh-hungry ghouls 

With a ravenous glee.


Blood-streaked motorways 

A canvas of dread

The car crash echoes

The songs of the dead.


The fragments of life

The broken heads

A ballet grotesque

In the pale moonlight


As the living give up

The will to fight
