Corporal Jigsore Quandary - Carcass

Excised and anatomised, deviscerated disarray

The torso diverged with pride

Deftly amputated, evulsed limbs now defunct

The trunk imbrued, tatty stumps used as lugs

For a chondrin puzzle so quaint

Head and body decollate

A heaving mass so quiescent…

Scattered and scrambled, your teasement grows

A bloody caricature to make whole

A squirming grisly jigsaw, detrital fragments fit so snug

— That missing piece will leave you stumped

Totally disassembled, nicely sliced and diced

— A cold mannequin once resembled

Real cranium teaser, carved from flesh and bone

— So mystifying…

Battered and diffused, with placating blows

— A human jigsaw to make whole

A sequacious pattern which once fitted so snug

— Joining together each dubious lump

Ravaged disassembly, neatly cubed and diced

— A cold mannequin reassembled

Astute brain teaser, incorporate flesh and bone

So mortifying…

An incessant game — methodically made

With each cumulative piecing — of commensated meat…

Bi-manual reconstruction, eldritch problem complete

A convened effigy

A pathological toy, each chunk rigorously

Inter mortis locking, as you pathogenically rot

Such a perplexing task

To fit the remains in a casket

Uliginous mess so quiescent…

An incessant game — methodically made

With each cumulative piece — of commensated meat…
