The Atavists

Over shoulder, dog rest paw; salivating maw moisten smelly floor as jaw works; mechanical mandible. Ball grate molar, great flappy lips hang along a limb like jelly velvet curtain. Breath and death and shit and piss, whistling in nostrils. Cat approach, case joint, sniff at and tap it with leathery pads where splintered flesh remains. Dog growl, show teeth. Cat feign indifference and leave.
            Dog watch cat (covetous cat); crack leak marrow, turn to wall to maul and worry arm to pieces, in peace.

            Stupid cat sniff bones. Master not wake up.
