i wrote this as a metaphor for treasonist and misdirected attempts at love and attention...
EATING THE BRAINS OF THE DEAD
how simple, a rock
made to smash asunderhow we skulked up from
behind, brained them
to be sure, in one
fell strokelaid them,
stern to bow, tied
broken arms to
necksubmerged them in the
drink to batten, fed them
milk to chokestole naught but
seconds, amorous though
that they werefrom two thousand years
of roman historywe clobbered them whole
ground them to mealwinnowed out the
sinew from the marrowsplit that cantalope
in tweien and drank
its milkand sunk our ships
the very ones!avast yea, lord jim!
scuttle this vessel, and
bring me an island
whore, posthaste!while the breadfruit
waltzed its way
to shorewe the ripper
we the cad
we the treasonist
lotwe, the eaters of
the deadwe want to be your
last awful memoryriding our horses,
ass backwards,
out to seawe the judas
we the wormwood
we the butus to
them allwalking dead, moreso
than our preywhile we marinate
them in the sun
and brineto let their
bodies, and
their mourning
fatten.
