 </div><p>He must have wiped<br>
the mucus of reason-<br>
a pus from his brain<br>
the night he saw her body<br>
swollen, ready to be poked by his fleshy pincers</p>
<p>How couldn’t he know that<br>
her meat is the only food<br>
he was forbidden from eating.<br>
but the demons in his groins<br>
ashore, swam viciously across hormones.</p>
<p>How do you forbid a lion<br>
whose lips have known strange blood<br>
from ploughing the land further<br>
meant for another farmer<br>
outside the blood circle</p>
<p>So every night like a devil<br>
he’d crawl out of a daughter’s skin<br>
and scold her to tell nobody of the deed.</p>
