Kashiku Monologue from The vampire cat

From The vampire cat by Gerard Van Etten

female · dark · 1:00 min

Well. You were all distraught and the bosom of your gown Was torn open and you clutched your throat As if you were wounded there. But there was no mark. And you let wild words fall from your lips And none knew their meaning. O TOYO. The Prince and I walked in the garden And there at the shoji I left him. As I entered There entered With me a spirit And its breath fell upon me-- Dumb my tongue in my mouth And frozen my marrow. Suddenly it leapt upon me And as I fell downward Flashed the spirit into mine eyes-- A cat, two-tailed and hairy-- And it's teeth sank in my throat here-- Can you see a mark? (Exposes her throat to KASHIKU.)
