Exceprts from Fiery Coffin by ken robidoux

Stoke the fire
twelve nights and thirteen days
paint up and dance
drink thick port wine
and eat wild mushrooms
gambol an earthen ring
round my ashes
as you jump and scream
and beat your chest
you naked crazy bastartds.

Excerpts from Gas by Paula Lopez

Wow, it truly was a unique odor. It wasn't earthy and thick like most bodily releases. You know the type that swims around your whole head and kind of makes you dizzy, the type that screams out "humanity!" No, this smell confined itself strictly to your nose and very slowly worked its way up to your recognition, where invariably your brain would reject it. It was a very detached sort of smell, almost mechanical, an apathetic fart.
