everything alive is insatiable
every creature hungry
the bull ***** the cows till it's half dead
but wants another and another

we are a swarm of living things
hands to touch fight and labor
beaks to peck
horns to gore
wings to fly
claws and teeth to tear
with lapping desperate tongues
we are mouths eating wild
panicked for nourishment
engorging
trying desperately to live
feeding on others
as shrieks rise from gazing mists

creatures birthing eggs and babies
as long ***** muzzles tear
in gladded swamps
shifting bones and twisting fat and meat
taking turns as predictor and prey
the more life
the more death
history is built on piled corpses
feeding mother worms and beetles

everything is after you
even your own body
will turn on itself
like a snake that eats it's own tail
our minds rattled
perpetually smoldering
with incoherences

i feel like a *****
without a nice ***
but no worries
nothing ***** us like time

in-spite of it all
when i see you
i am a child in paradise
your smile
a golden apple
