Poetry
I Eat People
By shirley_keeldar
23 April 2006


Voraciously I devour them,
Chew them, change them,
Until there is no longer any mystery to them;
They are mine, wholly, and I throw away the bones.

The last one was too meaty,
Too raw; he struggled and he wounded me
I still find bits of him stuck between my teeth.

The next one shall be easier,
Softer; a gentleman's flesh, a pure soul
Something sweet to eat.

Can't ignore

You really can't ignore a title like that and I must say it lived up to it's promise. A powerful and strangely uneasy piece.  
Blimey I may have to have a re-think about poetry after reading this
thanks...

I feel a can relate to this poem really well, there's something about it that reeks of alot of relationships i've observed or been a part of. 
 
reading it; it seems solid, a woman in control and completely self-aware, i love the feel of this 
 
well done :grin
