the house of night

torquemada roasted their feet baked them very crisp little nuggets

vlad the dragon ate among the corpses, delicious foods every one

hitler gave showers for his enemies their present for twisting up in his sight

perhaps they frightened him at night the babies curled next to him as he tried to sleep

ikeman the death of 5 million jews on his conscience  did he have great satisfaction

tse tung millions gone

pol pot lots and lots

genghis khan set cats on fire to scurry about the city

and slept with 12 year old virgins until they weren’t virgins anymore o yes

and maybe they gave him little girls that they loved very much

find that first face ready burn the butcher the baker somebody has to fire him well now it’s submarine races over the moon and all night drowning in the toilet life is a brutal event surrounded as ever by the pretty words of the pretty people in their pretty white houses pass the salt pass the soup pass on over and in the end no one can tell who is the tortured and who is the torturer because they are both dead of course 

it’s different this time isn’t it
