Count The Lives She Has Consumed

She leaves out sugar

To catch flies

Tempts them

Through the window

 

She catches flies

To feed to spiders

To tempt them

From dark corners

 

She feeds the spiders

To her birds

Teaches them

To love her touch

 

And the birds

She gives to cats

Lures them

To her lair

 

And with the cats

She feeds her dogs

Who follow

At her heel

 

And when the dogs

Grow fat and full

She roasts them on a spit

And eats them whole

 

So do you see

How she craves

The life

She steals from others

 

She grins

A bloodied smile

And counts the lives

She has consumed

 

Imagining

They make her

Life

A richer existence

Author's Note

I admit i stole this idea from the character Renfield in Dracula.

And when the dogs
Grow fat and full
She roasts them on a spit
And eats them whole

So do you see
How she craves
The life
She steals from others.
