THE CANNIBAL IS THINKING ABOUT JOY

 

***

The cannibal, pig that has big good luck

is heading for the devilish Soviet councils

because he’s thinking about joy, about joy ‒

only the absence of any God can make me

happy, the fear of death makes me flay

the masses that are marching to the inferno.

A marvel would be that they should all

commit suicide. They’re flayed alive

I hear their eternal voice. To tell more

is a sin. That’s how the things stand

in the Soviet empire. The rabbi sends me

there for money and death. I know

I don’t belong to the human species.
