Tools of the Trade

Steel skin clips,
Forceps, grooved awl, retractors, needles
Gouges and saws,
Intestinal clamps, blunt dissectors,
Scalpels, pins, toothed directors.

Tools of the trade, forceps and blades
Skillfully lathed, for us to maim.

Bone levers, spikes, malleable scoops,
Plates and chisels, screws and spoons,
Drills, respatories, files and durettes,
Guillotines, gags and compression forceps.

Tools of the trade, ripping the rib-cage,
To remissly lustrate, so pleased to maim.

Retractors, mallets, rugines and benders,
Chisels, rods, sharps and catheters,
Trephines, undines, irons and styrups,
Depressors, tongues, sterile catgut.

Tools of the trade, stainless steel blades,
Painstakingly lathed, we're so pleased to maim.

"If visible identification
Is not possible, the
Pathologist may be able
To take fingerprints from
The body. If decay has set
in,things become more
complicated..."

Intenacious
Intersecting
Reaving fats from
Corporal griskin
Culled for sodden
Gelatine brayed
Skeletal groats
Triturated
Desinently
Exsiccated
Sere glutenate brewed
For frivolous solvent abuse

Derogate coarse remains
For glue to dry
Despoiled marrow razed

A truculent shamble
So severe

Extravated bone
As adhesive incarnate
A pellucid quietus
Nocuously I create

Corporal glue
Breathe in the fumes
Mucilage vapours
Toxic fumes to savour

-Solo-

Comminuted remains
A gum to dry
A lissom gel so glazed

A truculent shambolic affair

The exsanguine esprit
Shorted as snuff
Rheumic oils forever
Bonded together as gum

Human glue
Choke on the fumes
Noxious vapours
Slaughterous labour

-Solo-
