I loved you at lunch

when the coffee kicked in and you cut carrots into coins

for our salad, the satisfying, slow knocking of the dull knife against the cutting board while I pretended to read while I worshipped you from the sofa

“Ooh, you’re in trouble.”

[mazinkhin]

“I can see - In the dark. On through the shadows and somber veils. Past the masks - The grays and blacks. I see into souls… The yawning pith of your starless whole. Aspirations of your being. Things you carefully keep hidden - Are never hidden from me long…”

The creature that wants to kill you will not growl.

The function of a growl is as a warning. It is a communication that violence is available as a tool, but is not preferred. Other outcomes, besides your death, are available and should be considered.

But the creature that wants to kill you will not growl.

If your death is the goal, then growling will only serve as a delay and may result in your escape, which runs counter to the goal. There will be no growl, no warning. There will be no snarl or hiss or bluster. The creature that bares its teeth with the intent to kill only does so to bring closer its fangs to your demise.

The creature that growls does not want to kill you, but will if it must.

I advise you to appreciate the warning. You may not receive another.
