Bad Day at the Butcher Shop
Absent Love Poem - Metaphor Packed

This item accepts reviews only.
                                       Slab of meat flopped upon the block.
                                       Butcher with cleaver, chop - chop-chops.
                                       Red roses ooze cleaved clean and mean,
                                       into sawdust, dreams … crimson drops. 

                                       Binding dark twine, imprisoned plight,
                                       meat sacked and packed ever so neat.
                                       Red roses flowed within the poke,
                                       cherry river sickening sweet.

                                       Bundled bloody meat, packed and turned,
                                       stood before the scariest door.
                                       Threshold of death a path transformed,
                                       traverse and die or bundled more.

                                       Putrid lamb slaughtered by harsh hand,
                                       soaked sack covered in bleakish slime.
                                       Oozing rack there’s no taking back,
                                       rotting roast decaying with time.

                                       Through deaths door went the scarlet gore;
                                       drops from the chop mopped clean away.
                                       Out of the fire, into the heat
                                       went the meat; last day of the prey.

                                       Chop-chop, drops at the butcher shop,
                                       non-tenderized disconnection.
                                       Ardor rendered to a red drain,
                                       collections of recollection.
