THE WANDERING BUTCHER
jm avril
The wandering butcher
Absorbs our vitality
In throwing the fatal
Hook into our dreams.
He absorbs the sap
Causing us to die.
The vampire-king appeared
In the corpse of a cow
That the cowardly butcher
Was cutting with his tools.
A naked, sky-clad verity
Inflated the naive butcher.
He claimed to be blood priest
In honour of the vampire king.
The story makes the police
And psychologists laugh a lot.
In spite of this, children
Are still offered as/in sacrifice.
