scavenging

savage child slay the unborn
your sterile nails gripped between grinding teeth
another one licks semen from
your bones

trapped in a cage
vermin feast upon your mind
every inch of the mother’s womb is just
a corner cut from a clenched fist

now roll away
the endless sleep of reason
contaminates a caged animal that
thirst for unconscious medleys
from within
