i pawned you and split tails for your headhunt
made more money in one night
larger stacks than i could fill the tub with
came home late
wondered who had eaten my leftovers
gave up quickly
and crept into the windowsill
a nest had buried there
i slid my tongue in and tasted some wild berries
they weren’t my dinner
and the karma had caught up to us both by that point
i unscrewed a light bulb from above my head
and sat in the dark kitchen
the linoleum felt nice on my cheeks
it was a cold night
but I was still hot
i was looking in the fridge
waiting for something to happen
you are so pretty
i can’t even stop looking at you
the image fits into my eyes so frantically
as though my pupils have been carved to your shape
i thought i had devoured you completely
i shouldn't be this hungry still

Lightning strikes anytime, you're not aware,
cannot predict, traces are not bared.
we should consider even a extra little care,
better be alert that risks are always there.

Consider - values and morality, sometimes we overlook,
the bounds and limits outside what we learned from books,
We enjoy stepping on others, maximizing their so-called benefits
Pulling one other down, for personal gain and profit.

I'll be happy if you knew your limits from the start.
but still, there are some who does not take their part.
Let them do their thing, because we know that Karma is just around,
anytime it can strike, just like a lightning, making its headhunt.
