I AM

the mutilated body –
I once was whole,
but now I stare at you
through the gaping hole
of my mouth
demanding MORE MORE MORE-

I am a ritual of unashamed
purification,
giving up my body every time
only to crave more than before.

You cannot love this –
You never did.

We’ve been through all the details
and we know it’s tried and trusted-
Pure babies, suckling on air,
living for nothing but the glee of loss.
