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 © 2010 Lepadah
