A Sixgill's Lovebite

a shark bites into a carcass
the way i desperately hide my body
stick needles & throw pills
close my eyes on instinct
when ripping out a part of myself
devouring. hungry & willing.
they don't have a name for me
so i start carving one out of my flesh
reconstruction of one's own body
nature, reinvented.
