<{Grasping^Grendals}> (Haiku) by Bachus
{A Haiku series} Here is your arm back. Pathetic Danish peasant. Now bleed in my mouth. Mother naps alot. Some feel that she has earned it. Yet I cannot dream!? Send your best hero! With a box of toothpicks. NOW! 'fore it is to late! I kill for Mother! Until the day she loves me. As much as her sleep.

Have you read "Grendal" by John Gardner?

yeah, i read that before beowulf, and it realy changed my life.
I always suggest to friends now, that they should also read those two books in that order. I cannot say enough about that book actually..it's why i couldn't go to graduation. Library overdue fees.

What a menacing last line. Gardner was pure talent. I miss him. It is also one of the few books you will read where a first person narrator dies. James Dickey's "To the White Sea", being another I remember off the top of my head. It is such an odd technique thing to utilize in a book.
