fantastic festering feast

Eat me

Devour me 

Bite down hard and lick your lips, please

Let me be inside your body

Digest me

Let my thoughts and feelings,

My skin and bone

Be nutrients to your flesh,

Your heart, your soul.

Let me travel through your veins

Scatter deep into your brain

See and understand your pain

like no one has before.

I don't want to be content

Withing the limits of body,

I don't want to smell your hair

I want to be IN IT.

Feel your fingers press down on me as you wash it.

I want to hear your voice

Through what it creates inside you

Be the first to experience every utterance

To know the end of every line

before any man can...

Before any man can.

Look through me.

Let me mirror with your eyes

Swim in the oceans they form

Follow the path your tears take

And speaking of swimming, oh your tongue...

Let me help you bend the muscle 

That distills poison to the cruel

And blessings to the kind.

Oh, to be granted such an honor!

But I am no fool.

I know there will be blood in your mouth

When you let your thoughts retreat

To those you once called "lovers",

some maybe even "brothers",

And I know you will make room for them again.

When that day comes

Let me be the knot in your throat

that prevents you from giving your all

away too soon

The teeth that bite your tongue

And keeps your privacies private

The rage that colors your hair red

when you catch him in a lie.

But if you still decide you want one, 

want a "him" instead of "Her"...

Then shit me out 

and let me be.

Deceased must be that piece of me.

Because if with you I can't stay,

The sewer would be comfort, anyway.
