And the feast is great

by Mr Rhee   Dec 5, 2009


There is blood in my cup,
and it tastes so good.
There is skin on my plate,
and it needs little salt.

The new hat I wear
is another man's face.
The new coat on my chair
is the back of an ugly woman.

I wear many necklaces,
all made of golden teeth.
I wear buttons on my shirts,
all made of polished bone.

I eat hot, meaty soup,
in a bowl hewn from a skull.
I eat hot, meaty soup,
that was once a guest.

I have friends over for dinner,
and the feast is great.
I have friends for dinner,
and I feast greatly.

I invite you to my abode,
my dear, tasty, friend.
I invite you to my table,
my dear...tasty...friend.
