Dead and Dripping

Matriarchal piety disturbed at their vespers

Sisterly society feels the stifling whispers

Anger of the dead-at-sea denied proper interment

Dumped overboard summarily, washed down in a current

Sepulchral consideration, wrathful omen

Dog removed from the casket, dead and dripping

First stage of disintegration... Piecemeal, decomposition

Of the indignant deceased, submerged for what reason?

Parchedness of living throats and mouths has cracked some tongues

But attempts to slake their thirst leads to soaking lungs

Hearts are heavy, minds are numb, souls oppressed...

Supernatural siege upon the landlocked dead

Baptism in netherfluids in their crypts

Suffocating dryness in the catacombs

Mad at thirst, they dry

To draw sustenance

From a burial mound;

Necrophagous fails

Aridity ends lives

More wet corpses found

Watery warfare and, in its mist, the forsaken

Who cry for them, the bridges of the flaccid god

Intone a funeral rosary, blessed morbid murmur

To hopefully placate the dead and end the curse of moisture
