The Hunter
The blood splatters my face
As I pick up my prey
The animal inside me
Lives another day
I shake it and listen
It ceases its breathing
The hole in its head
Has not finished bleeding
I skin the body down
I wrap up the meat
It goes to my freezer
Tonight I will feast
The faces are sweetest
I like them the most
My guests are oblivious
I'm a wonderful host
"A marvelous meal!"
A woman commends
If only she'd known
She was eating her friends
As I pick up my prey
The animal inside me
Lives another day
I shake it and listen
It ceases its breathing
The hole in its head
Has not finished bleeding
I skin the body down
I wrap up the meat
It goes to my freezer
Tonight I will feast
The faces are sweetest
I like them the most
My guests are oblivious
I'm a wonderful host
"A marvelous meal!"
A woman commends
If only she'd known
She was eating her friends
