so i don't lose it

Childish Necropsy

lays gutted on the ground
little chipmunk, fresh cat-kill
I look fascinated
at the colors

spilled here are mauve intestines,
bright red stomach, maroon liver,
yellow pancreas

I crouch, picking up thin stick
inserting it into the intestines
and pull outward to see.

all it does is pull more entrails out
I want to see its heart lungs,
Rosie hasn’t exposed those yet
when they don’t come out
I take a step back

examine the body
laid on its side small and brown,
eyes closed, mouth open
blood on its neck and entrails spewing outward

I turn the body over
see the other side
taken a chunk out of the neck
Can see white spine blue vein
orderly march of ants come near

Investigation complete,
it was a quick kill
I scream blue murder
girls aren’t supposed to like dead things
