spread with succulents
its inhabitants' arms
since passing through the hair's breadth
between living and dying
have fused at the elbows
unbending
hands grapple for food that
cannot reach mouths
tongues stretch
to taste the simple satisfaction they will never again enjoy
Paradise- a banquet table
spread with succulents
its inhabitant's arms
since passing through the hair's breadth
between living and dying
have fused at the elbows
unbending
their arms
discover to feed other mouths and so
taste the terminal satisfaction
in passing food to the lips of another
