A lisp
a whispered hiss
With a gristle hustle
and a deathly shuffle
you wind your way
back home
There’s a twist
and a freakish glow
in a freak show
the decaying beat
of a drum
hiss
a whispered kiss
of a driveling fool
your hunting days
are done
this
flayed lantern skins
bones used as tools
a soup bowl
not a soup bowl but
a human skull

A real life character perhaps “Poe” could’ve written into existence. The imagery from your piece compartmentalized the darkness of a full length documentary I’ve seen on him. I feel as though I’ve seen it again. How evil can a human being be? An important question to ask.

Is there a limit? Terrible questions to ask but yes, very necessary. Oh that’s so cool – I saw my poem as a mini- movie😁 thanks!

He’s the guy that Silence of the Lambs, the movie, was partially based on. Your poem captured his his deeds quite accurately.

Various works within the horror genre have used characters with some basis on “Ed Gein”. Truly a disturbing monster.
