The Grave
Youth spent full
hard with force,
grasping greedily
awakes a beast
Gravity feeds the body
sips and bites,
slowly over time
becoming a feast
Ravenous feeder
drinking heavily,
coveting more openly
shyness ceased
Dirt patches of
sun-washed leather,
burrowed deep to
watch death released
A Thought For Every Word
