Night Passion
by Brian Kunde

Spelunking
a night-encaverned
kitchen,
guided by the whistle
of the frigid air—
restless carnivore
prowls for prey.
Hungry eye lights
on a box of
seedless raisins:
pounce! The body,
ripped open,
spills its sweet
entrails.
A bloody
midnight feast.
Were-spelologist
awakens
amid shards
of cardboard
and desiccated
grape husks.
