I am a babe suckling milk from the breast It is bland It is benign With each new experience it becomes less so it grows a taste It is bitter It is sweet I grow my teeth and begin to eat the meat of it It is so rich that I ***** it back up There is none left I eat the ***** until my body accustoms itself I grow strong on it It twists in my gut: a white Worm with its tail in its jaws My teeth and fingernails are yellow with it My eyes and lips are crusty with it too I grow my mind and begin to see the heart of it It is vibrant It is alive I fear to eat it I sit at the table set it with ****** cloth and cannibalize myself I realize I am eternal go to bed weeping and share me with myself: My **** is potency My **** is caprice I love myself We lie close and examine the heart of it It is grey It is dead I eat it without fear

The Heart of It
I am a babe suckling milk from the breast It is bland It is benign With each new experience it becomes less so it grows a taste It is bitter It is sweet I grow my teeth and begin to eat the meat of it It is so rich that I ***** it back up There is none left I eat the ***** until my body accustoms itself I grow strong on it It twists in my gut: a white Worm with its tail in its jaws My teeth and fingernails are yellow with it My eyes and lips are crusty with it too I grow my mind and begin to see the heart of it It is vibrant It is alive I fear to eat it I sit at the table set it with ****** cloth and cannibalize myself I realize I am eternal go to bed weeping and share me with myself: My **** is potency My **** is caprice I love myself We lie close and examine the heart of it It is grey It is dead I eat it without fear
