peach rebirth

under prepubescent sun

linen skin and
wet fingers down the throat
regurgitating bible verses

work slow
oh, skillful tongue
prolonged pleasure before such treachery pull me –
deep
into velvet womb

heavy breath

inhumane as teeth
sinking –
into ripening flesh around stone pit
fingers turn to limbs

force inside

organs expand as claw marks rise to the surface of the skin

swallow deep
lips quiver
slow to a smile
i've devoured
carnage pure
skin sweet between teeth
sounds of forming bones
errupt
the heavens hear my cry
