The Autopsy

A deep incision in the shape of a y
its only purpose to answer why
Stretching shoulder to shoulder
then down the middle of the chest
so begins the examiner's quest

The skin peeled back to reveal whats inside
Behind a set of ribs is where the organs hide
Veins are severed
as organs are pulled out one by one
placed on a slanted table so the blood may run


Each one must be weighed and cut into sections
looked over thoroughly for problems and defections
next comes the brain
removed but left intact and whole
merely set aside in a solution filled bowl

Intestines then must be drained
while the stomach's insides are retained
everything removed that the body contained
for in the end it must all be explained

Not to bad on your first step into the world of the macabre. You wrote about something I would very interesting. Great flow and the fact that it painted a story is even better. Good Job!!!!

For such a dire and gruesome topic, I am impressed. Well done here even if it gives me the creeps. ;)
