Beckett-Blogging

The Vulture Zombie

dragging his hunger through the sky
of my skull shell of sky and earth

stooping to the prone who must
soon take up their life and walk

mocked by a tissue that may not serve
till hunger earth and sky be offal

And sky be offal
I'd rather it was a waffle

Smut Clyde said...

A nagging cough'll

I drank the cup they offered me
Offal, souls and fiddle-dee-dee
You think I cheated there, I bet
But you have no idea, Yvette
You offer nothing, then you laugh
I accept nothing but your damn Giraffe
You think you know the path this takes
But many of your ideas are fakes
I drink deep and sadly trudge
I did not expect fairness from the judge
And now you think your story's nigh
'tis only for the truth to die...

I am suspicious of Zombie intentions.

Krendler made a face: "The soup is not good."
"Actually, it's more of a parsley and thyme infusion," the doctor said, "and more for our sake than yours. Have another few swallows, and let it circulate."

Slowly, Krendler put down his spoon. He touched his lips with the napkin and looked about for a moment, then set it down next to his bowl.

"Circulate" he repeated, and raised his eyes to gaze deeply at Fitch. "And then?" he asked.

Fitch struggled to retain the advantage. "Yes. There is nothing to be lost", he said.

Krendler nodded and stood up. "There is never anything to be lost" he commented, somewhat absently as he reached for the brandy. Once again, his eyes rose to lock on the hapless Fitch. "Might you have a cigar?", he asked....

"mocked by a tissue" is, indeed, a low blow, when your liver starts laughing at you
