Bloody Cobblestones (Part 2)

I draw out my soul,
   stretching shadows,
encasing us in fog
and dispersing myself within.
Left forearm and claw forming
I gouge the chest,
blood splattering the stone walls,
slowly
   I bring my face out
     and lick the flesh
from my sickle like blades
then slam my head into his
as my right hand
forms behind the left kidney,
the momentum
    sends the carcass into a spin
and as shrieks
   of pain escape his lips
I drive my teeth 
   into the skin on his chest
ripping it from the bones,
wale assault my ears
   causing shivers.

Drawing back
I enjoy the quivering a moment
then palm strike
   into the sternum,
shards of calcium
flying into my snout
while blood slides down my neck
finally driving 
   my thirst into a frenzy,
my teeth shred the heart
   as I remove it
from its resting place
and I spit it on the ground
as he lays down for the last time.

I slide back beneath the red oak.
             Taste my reach.

A little to much blood and guts for my liking. An excellent description of the scene. God Bless Phyl
