A Death Bouquet

cracked tooth picks

lips and teeth

chomp

through breastbone

breaking

off small bits of me

to pick

his precious maw

after

his feeding.

made with love

grandma’s

crippled knuckles

press needles

through my

chest

sewing a quilt

from my

meat

finding home

save me from this

horrible place

take me where the

air

smells like dead plants

and no memory of

my world

exists
