O'er her breast to teach her independence
the autonomy of nerves and nervousness
'Neath the cushion, 'neath the mattress
shackles that he tackles with

to place upon
his throat a knife
(a man of grating appetite)
and as my right hand made him tremble
I dismembered it from me

and through seamen shipwrecked on the rocks
and velcro fastened

I
Devour
The
Afflicted
From
The Earth
And the Needy
From
Among
Men.
I DEVOUR
THE AFFLICTED FROM THE EARTH
AND THE NEEDY FROM AMONG MEN
(WE DEVOUR
THE AFFLICTED FROM THE EARTH
AND THE NEEDY FROM AMONG MEN)
I DEVOUR
THE AFFLICTED FROM THE EARTH
AND THE NEEDY FROM AMONG MEN
