The Lone Bitch ( A figurative poem)

in a very dark place
walks a lone bitch
struggling to stand
limping beside pups

alone
on three instead of four
one foot mangled
torn off still bleeding
dare not collapsed for maggots invitation feeding

the steel claw
camouflage ditch
snatch the foot off the bitch
who will mend this open wound

the hunter who preyed
upon her aloneness
persuaded by the smell
meat runny raw red

knowing that bitch would come
pups beside
alone into the dark world
hungry and deceived

by the beast
the man
the hunter
grinning his yellowed slippery teeth

hanging out smoked mouth
a pink purplish tongue
that wound around to collect his spit
saying "gotcha."

he the devil to earthly hell
the beast
who stand on two feet
he the hunter

tearing out tiny pieces of bitches heart
thought his prey to be eaten
in this very dark world
alone

the man
not bitch
bastard died

she the lone bitch
with only three legs
one mangled
alone torn heart
limping alone into darkness
abide

Hard to explain.....but this poem of yours has haunted my mind for days ever since I first read it.
It was  almost unbearable to read and since to recall ....if that makes any sense to you.
