Hunting for Teeth

Inspired by the Plate Etching "Out Hunting for Teeth" by Francisco Jos� de Goya.

out hunting for teeth

that will be used no more

from those whose souls do sore

 

this One is so fresh

just hanged he was this mourn

from flesh his life is torn

 

maggots start their feast

grotesque though it does seem

tis easier unseen

 

prying teeth from thee

seems to be so unjust

this wont stop my hard thrust

 

i beseech my Lord

do not punish me here

his teeth i do not fear

 

in my own judgment

i intend to reuse

these Pearls are my Muse
