The second circle

My hunger is eating me alive
‘live like this girl, you’ll never satisfy’
mother, I want to be desired
I’m running out of time

I’d bind my ribs for it
make myself sick for it
burn an ode into my wrists in its absence

I need this to live no doubt
I fill my guts with poison and wash it out
just to make room for your roots to sprout

I picked my fruits in the garden of the second circle 
my journey here to shameful to tell


I feed my flesh to the mouths of many others 

hoping to fill my self with their hunger 


The faceless man in my head 

belly to belly 

he kept me fed 

now I feed myself with chaste hands 


never deflowered 

just wilted  

the fruits I pick here taste sweet 

the fruits I pick here devour me
