oatmeal
i am the unborn thing
from a cracked egg, spit
food into my mouth
i wait and writhe
i starve for things i gave you
once, your birth when i spat
promise down your healthy lungs and now
i come for the interest
i want the blood
out of your own
meat. i'm scared and i want to be full
i beg you feed me
feed me
feed me
please i'm hungry feed me
i'm starving feed me feed me i'm dying
and haven't i done enough? please
even when this thing
starts to scare you-
feed me what i fucking ask for
burning on the gray coil
of my deathside, before you sky
let my teeth grind your muscle
your own blood
in the limp
razor of my beak
