Mothers Flesh

Come to me
my little darling
lady of the
sea.

You cherish nothing
more
than
the little birds
calling to you
from behind
the screen.

My little lady
a cast in shells
squeezed
and kissed from
inside.

You bare all
that
I
smother.

No kiss
no bliss
no little
crisp,

the sensation lies
within its spell
and nothing but
the smear
of aching
bells.

Come and sit,
taste my bitter-
sweet
and fall amongst
our ashes
as
we sink
and eat
our mothers
flesh.
