It's utmost pleasure to lie down
and enjoy when the claws slit down
the face, the shoulders, the breasts and the abdomen
before reaching the thighs.
It's contentment to lie down
when the clutching grip
gouges out a bit of tiny insignificant flesh
from between the legs.
It's a calm joyful slumber
when they tear apart the hymen
and warm blood gushes down the legs.
It's a very pleasant to lie down
and sleep in unknown bushes or nullahs
and worms feast on the gores.
It's gratification for The House
whose walls reverberate with laughter
Hi Hi Hi Hi Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Ho Ho.
