The Lone Bitch ( A figurative poem)
in a very dark place
walks a lone bitch
struggling to stand
limping beside pups
alone
on three instead of four
one foot mangled
torn off still bleeding
dare not collapsed for maggots invitation feeding
the steel claw
camouflage ditch
snatch the foot off the bitch
who will mend this open wound
the hunter who preyed
upon her aloneness
persuaded by the smell
meat runny raw red
knowing that bitch would come
pups beside
alone into the dark world
hungry and deceived
by the beast
the man
the hunter
grinning his yellowed slippery teeth
hanging out smoked mouth
a pink purplish tongue
that wound around to collect his spit
saying "gotcha."
he the devil to earthly hell
the beast
who stand on two feet
he the hunter
tearing out tiny pieces of bitches heart
thought his prey to be eaten
in this very dark world
alone
the man
not bitch
bastard died
she the lone bitch
with only three legs
one mangled
alone torn heart
limping alone into darkness
abide
