body

i’ve eaten my fill.
tore flesh from limb, had blood drool.
mute to the braying.

start one thousand words.
stuck at the apoapsis.
double down for naught.

panting dog on road.
pink tongue wagging pendulum.
four paws in a row.

under heavy breath.
wake tasting mouthful of red.
help can hurt sometimes.

heavy curtains close.
conscience slips into day dreams.
nightmares scared awake.

a rub from gray tail.
a purring face batting eyes.
feed the pretty face.
