Antemortem Thanatopraxis
Haemorrhage
Continúa después del anuncio
Prone on the mortuary slab
Naked and sedated
Horrified
Undergone my sick thanatopraxis
Removing viscera
Purging fluids I extract
Arteries I deplete
Cavities filled with formalin
Antemortem disembowelment
Continúa después del anuncio
Cotton in nostrils and throat
Slow suffocation
Muscles and fendons I snap
To dislocate the stiffened limbs
Antemortem thanatopraxis
Face features molded from wax
Grotesque disfigurement
Effacing surgical scars
Necroplastic surgery
Glued eyelids
Hairstyled scalp
Tied-shut mouth
Face made-up
Lavaged and perfumed
The corpse is now ready to be inhumed
Antemortem thanatopraxis
