I’ve Eaten

I thank you for the offer

It’s very kind of you

But I must decline

I must not have any

For I have eaten already

I’ve eaten

And I’m full

I must decline your offer

But really, it’s very kind of you

I appreciate your willingness

But I can’t accept

For I am no longer hungry

For I’ve eaten

Already, I’ve eaten

I’ve eaten the heart of my lover

The genitals of my enemy

And the brain of my father

I’ve eaten the breast of my mother

The hair of my grandparents

And drank my sister’s menstrual blood

You see -

I’ve eaten.
