It was dark , damp and cold
On this quiet stretch of road
I saw a body up ahead
It looked like it was dead
This body and were alone
Excitedly i took it home
Laid it out on the table
My thoughts were,was i able
Doubting my ability
Creeping insecurity
I had to be bold
Before it got cold
Grabbed hold of a knife
It had already lost it`s life
Made a decision
To make an incision
A cut here, a twist there
All of it done with great care
A cut , a nip ,a tuck
Would it be easy no such luck
Concentration and a furrowed brow
Nearly finished,not long now
Working off the light of the candlebra
Suppose it looked quite macabre
This creature had already drawn it`s last breath
It was time for me to create beauty in death
This act that night was`nt a crime
You see i`m aTaxidermist and this was my first time.
