“Identifying the bodies which are decomposed,
dismembered, skeletonised pose very serious
problems. We’ve had many cases in this
department where a body has been found
in pieces, or decomposed, and we’ve been
able to put things together. Yes, the head,
the upper part of the body,
in a very badly decomposed state…”
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 desassembled, 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 convented effigy
A pathological toy, each chunk rigorously
Inter mortis locking, as you pathogenically rot
Such a perplexing task
To fit the remains in the casket
Uliginous mess so quiescent…
