Once we have carried out
our parts of the bargainmy secrets will be
safe, in the darkvault of your body.
You alone understandhow I've ached
for the slow caressof digestion, craved
to be held withinanother's cells.
You will pack me awayin plastic bags, against
the coming months,against your own
peculiar hunger.You will relish me.
What could be sweeter?I want to be known.
This wayyou can taste me
all the way to the bone.

We went back to the future for our thirty-second issue, revisiting ZOMBIE (2003). Why? Well, It was a chance to pay homage to the issue of Cordite with the most braaaiins, so who needs any further excuse?
