ordeal of manhood
totally utterly failed
selway adventure
pondered lately
starved for meat
deer too big
ducks in marriage
finally a rattlesnake
on a rocky cliff
on a horsetrail
fatal condemnation
& I get to eat it!
unable shoot
only possible
knife behead it
we battled long
now i know
it could have
struck aun missed
then easily fled
frustrated
humiliated
exhausted
impatient took
big ass boulder
both hands lifting
i thought it cornered
now i know truth
caz only able process
moment i saw den
springling child
could have killed me
but it fled into bushes
boulder logistically stupid
now feared but enraged
rattlesnake has entire mtn
this spot death sentence
after the child safe
defense lost edge
pinned & beheaded
MOD-MK knife
roasted it over fire
ate it all
after MaoMao had kittens
able to reinterpret achievement
into a shameful tragedy
i had all reason
triumphant
how can life
ever be calc
for it must be
loss of possibility
of the killed
burden of justice
of the victor
let it weigh strike
never inhibit decision
wish i failed
fright the lesson
lust of hunger
imbalance justice
NEVER TAKE GAINS
suffer sinner & judge
