Hearts rhythmically thumping They have begun hunting Splotches of green and brown Defenders of their little "town" Eyes become slivers in the night They have no bark, but are all bite. Mouths wide with Cheshire smiles Minds swirling with and stabbing at random wiles Stampeding through hills and over grass Down to the ground searching for the scent of what was there last. Coarse cloth draping off of the ****** sweating forms. Hauling what deadweight "beasts" they can lift after their swarms In their minds, a group mentality, they are yelling and chanting and screaming galore But in the dead of night, only harmless creatures are ear-sores. Slithering across the dirt Will the night or the hunt end first? Slivers dart across the hell-heated jungle Salivating at the thought of flesh and the deliciously seductive struggle But alas, the sky becomes a lightened hue And the flesh, due to the morphing of slivers, narrowly escapes becoming barbeque.
