I am Want
Danger lies
beneath the peaks.
I am he. I am
want.
I consume you. I am
control. Borne
of fission—base elements
rearranging reality.
Your weeping is my food. Blood
into blood. My eyes glow
in your pain. And I am hungry
again.
I will nurse your murder, for more
pleasure. More chaos and play—
You are my instrument.
