knife set talons click on the pavement
hunger draws near, takes a wiff, snaps its beak.
beady black eyes size up the heart
gauged out by the others before it
determined worthy
plunges in
ravenous
aorta is ripped out
ventricles on display for the world
atriums crushed and swallowed
till the only evidence
are strewn muscle fibers
and tangled gore
satisfaction glints in fufilled eyes
that vanish
all that is left of my heart
is gone.
thank you.

Pigeons shouldn't cackle at me, that's a job for the crow.

radiant, golden feathers they,
draw me in,
caress my skin,
tell me it's going to be okay...

sparkling eyes
devoured what they saw
spit it back into the sky
when they realized it was raw

if the sea can take it's shells back
and crumble them to dust,
I should be able too...
could be able to...

syndicate

these daggers hang from my chest
red vines creep behind my eyes
resting wolves seethe at my feet
their husky breath stains the air
eyes lacking pupils
irises erased.
