The Master Eats My...

A fresh, hefty heap I left in the box.
You scooped it away into that flushing abyss.

A crisp, satisfying sound echoed—
Music to my ears.

Phew. My poop was gone.
Are you a wizard?

Four long years passed.
Then, the human assumed the form of a serpent,
Devouring a long, green cucumber.

Slathering my poop all over it,
Licking away the giant, pungent stink
With a satisfied tongue.

And then, trying to seduce me
With a terrifying truth:
"Here’s Churu for you~"

"I’ve got another cucumber, you see.
And I made sure to spread the poop extra thick and salty this time."
"Eat up."

Ah, was I that hungry?
Did you pretend to throw away my poop all those years,
Just like a magician hiding a trick?

I passed out.
Overcome by your dark truth.

How on earth am I supposed to look you in the eye tomorrow?
