Zen and the Art of Cannibalism

AKA Serial Killer Senryu.

Unseen hungry ghost

Predator in human skin

Lurks among the herd

Some folks drool for lamb

Others beef, but I prefer

The *other* red meat

Arcing silver edge

Slices a dark horizon

Full moon or my knife?

God's hand carves the earth

Canyon river running red

Metaphor in flesh.

Blood on my good shirt:

I just had this damn thing cleaned!

People are so rude.

Sleek steel crimson-graced

Open window into you

Pericardium!

Fresh-plucked beating heart

Just like a ripe tomato

Crush it in my teeth

Warming up the grill:

Home-made chuck on seeded buns.

Long pork for dinner!

Gleaming white arches

Spin around the spinal cord

Horseshoe, played with bones.

Wicked! Perhaps some fava beans and a Chianti as an accompaniment?
