You talk about your past lovers like cuts of meat; The big ******* on this one, the thick thighs on that one, the firm *** on the other. You call them Chicken, Cow, Pig. You call me Dear. I walk into your abattoir  of my own accord and tie myself to the gambrel, ask you to slaughter me, please, slaughter me. Always the slaughterer, never the slaughtered, I want to know what it feels like. You do as I ask: strip away my skin, slice open my chest, remove my vital organs. You have to separate my consciousness from my carcass to finish. I am venison, fresh. You mount my head on your wall next to the others and shut my eyes.
