Zombie Love
by John Hayes
Three zombies crush me to the ground
strip me naked.
Have their way.
I watch them shuffle into the night
follow to their resting place.
I return next day
with double barrel
and kerosene
blast two zombies
to smithereens
douse the third with kerosene
smash him to the ground.
He begs with vacant eyes.
I change my goal
offer pity
take him to my home
chain him in my cellar.
He shall forever be
my only love.
