literally 10,000 of those things in prime condish at my local used book store all of the time. people give up on it and give it away. or they read it, realize it sucks, and then give it away. and then you can go buy it for 3 cents on the dollar. pic isn't gore, it's the literary equivalent of stepping on a dry cat skull that you bought on veterinaryprops.com. do this with a 1st ed Lolita or a Women and Men or something like that and maybe we'll get somewhere

Most of the stuff by Gottfried Benn, e.g.

-Cycle-

The lone molar of a whore
who had died unknown
had a gold filling.
As if by silent agreement
the others had all fallen out.
But this one the morgue attendant knocked out
and pawned to go dancing.
For, he said,
only earth should return to earth.

Little Aster -

A drowned beer-hauler was heaved onto the slab.
Someone had wedged a lavender aster
between his teeth.
As I reached through the chest
under the skin
with a long knife
to cut out the tongue and palate
I must have bumped the flower, for it slid
into the brain lying alongside.
I packed it into the chest cavity
with the sawdust
as we sewed up.
Drink your fill in that vase!
Rest in peace,
little aster!
