I have gory portraits hanging on my walls, collecting grime I have polaroids to record my cleansing efforts, scenes of crime Limbs drape my abode like a ghastly ********** of antlers Trophies encompass my home: glass-eyed raptors and the skins of panthers Nonetheless, I sit upon a throne of men for they are always the greatest prey I stalk their numbers through all moon cycles of the night and solar shifts of the day I happily silence a man’s hubris to collect his humerus I engage in a scrap to seize a scapula- a theft, I hope, didn’t leave its owner too furious Hide in packs, in swarms, and in flocks you pretty beasts, I must implore Face a fate that all creatures must surrender to Chills of fear racing in the bones and the great hunter tearing down your door
