Shadowy collection


from the ABC set Macabre Moments

In the shadows
he collects
creamy thighs,
long white necks.

Then a token
to remember
how it felt
to dismember

all those gory
artifacts
for others to find
in woodland tracts.

A silver ring
a piece of lace,
with each small thing
his pulses race.

He takes great pride
in his collection
and hopes he may
avoid detection...
