You were outside mowing your lawn

Suddenly the earth began to yawn

Man and machine sink into the ground

Swallowed by a foul open mouth

You go face first into the tank

Mower feasting upon your legs

Blades are stopped by socks and sandals

Putrid scent you cannot handle

Nostrils filled with pungent liquid

Turn within your bed of sewage

Scream for help but you cannot be heard

Septic Tank Oubliette

Try and stand you can't on mangled legs

You buckle and fall down into the dregs

Reach into your pocket for your phone

No reception so you are alone

Surrounded by your excrement

Drained enough for your entombment

Wounds are stinging with infection

Festered human waste confection

Sarcophagus of piss and shit

Plopped inside to be forgotten

Sepulcher of filth and rotten fumes

Septic Tank Oubliette
