Day 12 - Hyperbole

Life is supposed to burst,
not drip
from ashen jaws that churn to mock it.

Death is supposed to settle,
not leap
from the dust with monastic teeth.

In the shell kingdom of a bookstore
I clocked a zombie with a bible
then ran for it.

There is death in life,
but life comes out ugly in death.
