Banquet
There's animals
in strange suits
consuming flesh
like red wine
spilling over
white satin,
I slow my gait
crossing over
noting the pure
gluttony hidden
in every pupil
as they speak
in small jargon
while mouths
slowly begin
to fill up.

Very beautiful. Skillfully written, especially with the symbolism. I loved how the title is separated from the poem (not physically) in a way that's it's hinted at the location, but not directly stated.
