Black beady eyes behind beaked masks
A carpet of fumes flow through these streets
Billowing wisps whip at the ankles
Famine and poverty, sickness and death
A pox upon your family
Snuff your young in the night
Abandoned to this plague
Until cold, still, and white
Dragged from your warren dwelling
Corpses bloated and swelling
Stained crimson cobblestones
Litter this town of blight
Shakily clasp the dark
Collapsing alone and cold
Spluttering black bile
As fever takes its hold
A bitter nothingness below
Lying lifeless, limp, and frail
These thoughts they start to wane
Through shallow breaths exhale
Dizzying apparitions loom
Visions of a jester’s grimace
Wicked festival contortions
A bleak and blackened stillness
Sensation of warmth washes over
Though the face be gaunt and pale
Unable to catch your breath
As these organs begin to fail
As these organs begin to fail
