In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.” -Stephen Crane, In The Desert
What if it was Halloween and I wanted the cubs to be Murder Husbands?
What if?

Scuttling across the floors of silent seas

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me." - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S. EliotSeries
