Attunor’s Hunt

A prehistoric poem

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about 16 hours ago 1 min read

Attunor head hurt… rock hard .. need better pillow.

Where woman? Tit softer than rock.

Fart like mastodon… make big billow

*

Loud roar near … Khan… big fang Sabre cat ..

Grab spear stick … vine wrapped flint axe

Need club for bash. Where at?

*

Step to to cave front …quick squirt.

Scratch balls… bugs in pelt.

There woman…She not hurt.

*

‘Cave! In! Stay! I hunt!”

“Little person cry! Quiet him!”

“Him stink! Stupid runt”

*

Big cat. Huge fangs! Soft fur. Meat

“Ungor! Come! We kill!”

“Ungor hungry! Hunt… eat”

*

Sniff… feel wind … “That way.”

Point, go … quiet… sharp stones… careful.

Look over rise… Sabre cat … Good day.

*

Khan caught huge jumper… feasting

Him unwary… Blood, entrails.. Nose covered

Khan cat we be defeating

*

Point there…, Ungor move … Nod … stand

Throw spears… hard… quick… Injure

Khan cat roar! Run fast! Attunor Know this land

*

Follow blood! Much bleeding.

Fleet, we go … trail Khan …

Cliff that way. Khan not heeding.

*

Scream. Wave arms. Run fast.

Khan tired… At cliff edge.

Ungor one side. Attunor other. Khan not last

*

Roar not so loud. Khan mighty body … weak

Claw swipe..Dodge… Bash with club

Khan down… Fur … soft… sleek

*

Thank you yellow Sky God! Today we eat.

Tie vines to carcass. Drag back cave.

Many tools to make. Bones.. teeth… feet

*

Sky God good to Attunor this day

Ungor look happy. Rubbing belly.

Woman get new clothes. Then we lay.

For Fun
