Corpulent (68 of 365)

Day 68 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day Corpulent "(of a person) fat."

Corpulent

Cockroaches crawl on grease
Slicked with human bile
Sores burn and blister and bubble
The waddling quake of flesh
The couch eternal
In still dim light 
The vastness of solitude 
The decrepitude 
Puddles brown and green and yellow
Eyes lost and red
Veins burgeoning bulging
When will it shift
Shall it sit and rest and stare
Out from its high judges chair
With its insectile eyes within 
A mammoth skull  
Sit and collapse inside of this 
Brown-lit suburban doom

Fat
Grotesque
Hideous
Bulbous 
Rotund 
Moribund.
