Dining

Tonight I dine on death,
it exudes from every pore,
it spawned you and me,
then reclaimed its dues ~

so I eat offal and let blood
drip from between my teeth,
I won't smile again, don't worry
the sweetness of us
rotted enamel to the core.

Tonight I dine and watch
gulls pick at the faeces of us,
I was in pieces but somehow
someone with a needle and thread
they made me into a patchwork

I'll cover all bed sores

A little darker than most of your work, but definitely graphic and jarring. Potent stuff.
