Kiss of the Undead
by Lin Jenkinson

At the base of the rock cliff
They sit and wait
Ungodly leftovers of mankind
You will know them by their dragging gate

It is not a trick of the mind

All at once they begin their trudge
Through marshes and creeks
The marginal left-behind
They are the undead- the unwashed freaks

Come to see what they can find

They sludge and trudge in relentless hordes
Sporting their awkward grins
No point in running- read this and weep
They’re coming this way my friend

And they get you where you sleep

In your houses, in your towns
They will soon arrive
With sightless eyes they see you in your bed
And they will feed on you alive

Beware the first kiss of the grateful undead
