I want to make a feast out of you
your fat swollen chops would be great
nourishment for my lovesick mind
your savory lips pack the flaky crunch
that goes
perfectly with crimson molasses like my
dear honey bear draining the life out of its belly
oh yes! the belly!
my tongue yearns for medium rare sausages …
your tubular will do perfectly
fillets off your midsection
still fresh and perfect for sushi
won’t you say?
I can’t wait to get a bite out of you and
won’t you want a piece of me too?

&quot;The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things. Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?,&quot;Leonardo da Vinci.

Very cool. It conjures a vision of desparation and a distinctly disturbed mind. I love it.

It is very unique, something I strive for, and though it was disturbing I'm sure that was intended. :) Very Hannibal Lector.

I'm kind of confused on the meaning of the poem. Even though it kept me wanting more, I was still confused on what you were meaning to talk about in the poem.
