Stretching Food Budget

Bloodthirsty Savages

eating my brain

forkfuls of nerve cells

going down their gullet

next are my arms

roasting on spit

bones discarded later

piles of white slivers

barbarians plunder

every morsel of me

boil my blood

to make a soup

stir and pour

hollowed out bowls

covered with skin

painted with blood

zigzag designs

discard the gristle

devour gourmet fat

shrink my head

wear it on loin cloth

make necklaces

out of white teeth

face fashioned into mask

intestines for storage

stuff them to brim

finger bones

useful for forks

liver, kidneys, hearts

are savory delicacy

cannibals in jungle

stretching food budget.
