The After Taste
from day
one
it was spoon feed
ME
and from then on
it was bite the hand
that feeds thee
feed me
fear
eat me
taste the blood
sweat and tears
a hearty meal
of violence
from the silent weeping
when no one
will fill the cup
of silence
for the thirsty
to the unsharpened
outspoken fork and knife
a voice calling
fill my stomach and
serve me
a three course meal
for the needy
pleasing but still
hungry and demanding
hand em
the entire platter
cause it don't matter
a second helping isn't
enough
the server
the waiter
or the waiting
on unsatisfied beings
feed me
something easy
to digest so
I can't rest easy
seizing the cook
the butcher
or the maid
mouths watering
for the after taste.
