I hear your cries A thousand voices loud You laugh in mockery of your wounded prey Swift like a meteor from yonder Your victim hits the ground Before he sees you coming Your touch is unforgiving Revealing the contents of the bowel Your kiss is remorseless Bursting open the temples Your embrace, cold Like the python's romance The heat of many fires This soil is soiled red Blood of the inumerable slain You are drunk to stupor You can't get over the deadly hangover Yet you're not satisfied You are the beast that consumes it's master Untameable, elusive, ravenous Your staccato deafens the soul, disorients the mind Littering the streets with minced flesh and scattered toes The trigger has been pulled A beast released from its chambers Catching the worm like an early bird Too late to return home ©Bentem Joseph 221745AJun19.
