cannibal love

a shy gravity
that pulls at our skin
till sinews and marrow start
to revolve around each other
like snakes in heat
the beat of our hearts is out of sync
creating a music
that only we can hear
like drums at a ritual sacrifice where we
cut the heads of all sense and logic
for what did they ever give us?
but doubt and pain
and we eat the brains of our enemies
sitting on our haunches
laughing
in the light of the fires
burning
with flames that lick the moon
but it's alright, you touch my face and tell me
everything is in tune
----
Have you ever wanted to scream? Did you?
