Issei Sagawa

Issei Sagawa
loved a woman
so he ate her up
and cut her up.
He wanted to soak her up.

Issei Sagawa
dipped her blood in bread
once she was dead
tasted the thoughts
still warm in her head.

Issei Sagawa
thought she was beautiful
thought he was ugly
thought she was wonderful
contagious, maybe.

Issei Sagawa
tried to hide her
in a suitcase
in a lake
but he never got that far.

Issei Sagawa
still walks with us
and rides the bus.
He might know your friends
and work with your mother.

Issei Sagawa
wants you to know
what we taste like
it might even
be worth a try.
