I know what it's like. I know what it does to you.
The giblets and the gristle of it linger
After the meat has been consumed.
And the bones of it: The skeleton remains forever
Fleshed out by living memory.
The animal, savage
Devours the one you love: They won't stop reaching
Another bottle.
Another tin.
It's not new.
It's a common tale
Told in your little face
Your wide blue eyes.
I want to say
I know what it's like. I know what it does to you.
