iGravedigger

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.
