Literature Text

My stomach is a beast
With teeth that gnash
And a hunger
That never sates.

It feeds, and it feeds and feeds,
Till my skin is split,
Till my viscera spill
From its open maw.

My greed is a beast that
Yearns for labels and belonging
And though engorged,
It whimpers its need.

It grows, and it grows and grows,
Till my body splits
And the jaws of the beast
Twist me inside-out.

And pity and disgust
Mingle silent
On bloodied lips.
