The Monster
dance, said the man
in the middle of the wood
So I danced and I danced ‘til I could no more
spin, said the creature
with the horns upon his head
So I whirled and I twirled for the hungry carnivore
jump, so I jumped
sing, so I sang
love, and I tried, but I couldn’t love the thing
then bite, it demanded
and he offered me a vein
So I drank and I drank while the filthy monster roared
now you’re mine
it declared with a grin upon his face
And I cried and I cried and I will forevermore
