The Butcher's Show
he called it
raw, or something rare.
i called it overkill.
strike, like lightning-tips
murder and naivety,
tight-lipped, bloody entertainment
for you
and for your hands.
it will smell,
and stain your stripes,
drip
like falling bullets
which melt
long
before it kills.
you called it routine,
i called it tight-lipped, bloody,
entertainment.
