Sunday Morning Delight

spider eater, gotta special bond 
spider-eating, one by one 
feel them squish on the tongue 
love the taste of the numbing venom 

cockroach eater, one under thumb 
roach-eating, oh what utter fun 
crawling around inside your mouth 
belly laughs, they'll never get back out 

sundae mourning de-lite 

subtle shift of a creaking door to the tune of 
the screaming of a thousand ill-starred spirits 
shrieks of the rat, caught by the rear 
all those bones and fur won't go down so easy 

taciturns of blue veins percolating 
blue blood spilling in the heart 
a cold winter, it's where the dark sets in 
but no one can see with all those ribs and skin 

lover eater, gotta special flavor 
flesh-eating, drip of macabre 
all this thick red muscle 
the cold wet meat could use some salt 

drop me a line 
your finest red wine, ship me a case 
i envy your palette 
and fashion sense, impeccable taste 

you're nothing like the ones back home

(there are not enough poems about cannibals... :D oh and before you tell me to 
seek help... oh wait, i don't care. f--- you... it's called "art.")
