The Dead Knocking

The Dead Knocking

A Poem by Eric Cox


The dead knocked on my door
hungry for blood and gore
I didn't know it was the dead
and if I answered hope would be bled
I couldn't see their decayed corpses
or feel any living dead forces
I heard the dead talk
and they knocked and knocked
so finally I opened the door
and was turned into blood and gore
now I know what it's like to be dead
and every night I rise from my coffin bed
now I knock on the living's doors
hungry for blood and gore
you may answer your door one dark day
and feel your life rot and decay.
