When Eating A Wolf

when eating a wolf
the village is empty of horse meat,
serpent soup
and empathy
rat mash
and octopus salad
we're boiling cardboard
for the kids
they say
someone ate a stranger
who was just passing through
and now we're so hungry
hungry
for you
we're eating the wolf
the dogs ate the dogs
we're eating the wolf
bulging eyes
in homemade coffins
pigs with lipstick
and cat flesh fiends
even darkness
could light up the way now
we're gluing leaves
unto the trees
they say
someone ate a stranger
made shoes of human skin
what should we serve
when death comes walking in
we're serving the wolf
the dogs ate the dogs
we're eating the wolf
