[hometext] => This is a excerpt from my unpublished novel curve. I did not want to write a bloody horror scene as I fell in love with the child as he took shape in the book. So I wrote a simple poem to leave the reader feeling empied and hollow
[bodytext] => Red scented death calls a stray cat to breakfast.
The sun paints black the feline framed by the trash bin lid. He looks for has promised meal, meal missing he licks at the blood and cries with regret into the empty morning. A garbage truck transformed to hearst mixes garbage with a small boy's body parts. Mommy's hugs, butterfly kisses, and dreams of puppy dogs away forever. His lifeless refuge churns in the stomach of the four- wheeled beast the low muted growl, echoed through no cathedrals, herald no Angels and trumpeted no opening gates to heaven. A torn T-shirt shredded blue jeans, remnants of innocence tumble as the beast droning eulogy fades distance. The green beast vomits its rancid cargo. The heat conducts the dump's stench to a crescendo. Wing filtered sun plays broken shadows into sadness sweeping the vulgar landscape. Pillaging gulls screech the only announcement of the boys’ arrival. Profane mounds of life's discards yearn for darkness to blanket its benign sin.
