Cannibalism drains restfulness out of dreams;
Cats chasing cats, as though, dogs have gone extinct:
Cold shivers, draws attention to, adorning shawls against threat:
Puked, at the sight of this heinous act:-
“It’s your first time.” Smilingly she says
“Wait as you watch it again and again – it’ll sink in –
Becoming the new normal, it won’t bother you!”
I think to myself, wondering,” Then why is she shielding herself by using ‘it’ in lieu?”
Cannibalism, a reality, destiny of the destitute,
Said to be alive in countries like Congo, Fiji – New Guinea
Abhorring perception, of life truly being so unpredictable, to the next level –
Where the hunter and hunted co-habitate –
Lead lives like friends, until hunger and survival steers’ intent,
To ingesting what the other is made of, in you.
