Sweet Meat

Dear Monster,

you’ve broken my heart

run your teeth across my chest

and feasted on the sweet meat inside

I’m sending you the pieces, what is left

I must begin now, before the venom spreads

and paralyses me completely,

as good Monster venom should.

I must look under my bed and inside the closet and

beg it was all a dream…

 

I’ve got no fight in me, no desire; oh please make it go away…
