Feeding Time

Here I hang

Cold, stainless steel
Supports my girth
In this dark abattoir
Of meaningless mirth

Do not
Nervously nibble
Or tentatively taste
Bite
Rip
Rend
Leave nothing to waste

Voraciously chew
Selfishly swallow
Gnaw on my bones
Suck out the marrow

Peel back the flesh
Crack open the cage
Tear out my beating core
Throbbing with rage

Splatter your chin with crimson
As you devour me whole
Lick your freshly ruby red lips
Feed your famished soul

Then…

…come back for seconds
