i am consumed here.

fed & eaten       

an eternal loop of desire

thirst

indulgence 

care 

watch me - watch you

giving & taking

here no parts of me are left untouched

i am consumed here.

all skin

all bones

all flesh

peered into & seen

breath: heard, held, taken. i am cradled & cracked. i am eaten from the inside. time ceases to exist. these days are languid, dense & tempestuous. still summer air. taste everything. drink everything. fruit, ripe for the taking.
