Frozen lifeless bodies, scattered on the street
Horrifying facial expressions petrified in the ice


People suffering from malnutrition
Reality of war leaves them nothing
Some would collect them to take them home

To hack up, cook and eat them

Hastily dragging the carrion so stiff and cold

To their houses, to prepare the morbid feast
In desperate attempts to bite off chunks from the body
Weakened teeth would break from icy solidity


Putting heat to the carcass
To make flesh tender

Thawing body fluids
Revealing a stench sense numbing


Biting into half frozen meat
Trying to ignore the horrid taste
Hunger over revulsion

Will power tested

Wretched corpses lying in the snow

Over a period of 2 weeks
One by one they disappear
Unquestioned
