Scraps Tatters of cloth and bone (and flesh) adhere to adipocere which bubbles and bulges through surface soil where it roils and boils in a carnal carnival of life and death.
Scraps of effulgent effluvium deliquesce and decrepitate getting ready to precipitate from ancient diluvium.
Mysteries and myths hold that the zombie apocalypse will last for a year and a day. It starts in this way, with tatters of cloth and bone (and flesh) and a hungry mind that won't stay behind. Ilmatu.
Greg - also, just wanted to say in regard to the previous prompt, the smashing machine which inspired it was a rat trap. I don't think I need to explain the inspiration for this prompt.
Charming bit of poetry from you, as usual.
(I'll admit to enjoying the last stanza in particular, but that's the end of the matter)
