Poems
Nov 2011
Tartare
The Killer's unblinking eyes gazed,
awaiting my next move.
The victim, still warm,
lay just there.
Choking back sadness,
I looked back.
No guilt
no remorse to be found.
A pure predator.
And I learned
You can't extract sorrow
from a cat.
This poem was written as a contribution to the "Adopt a Metaphor" experiment. The metaphor adopted here was "extract sorrow".
