Poems 11 - Was it the Blood?

What was the horror

In the days where we lived :

When we were

“incarnate”?

 

We ate flesh.

We tore it from other beings.

We ate it.

We wore their skin.

 

Was that the

“abhorrence”?

 

The real horror was:

That nothing could save us from the worms that ate us.

Or from the other things that lived inside our bodies

Waiting.
