BALLAD OF THE MOTH I ATE

to touch the fire of the light,
ever present yearning within
within your grasp, a warmth so bright
eat through fabric and through skin
cannot see the walls of prison
chase to and fro to find your life
to set right down after you've risen
and walk, willingly, to the knife

the fullest dress from a small past
transition always to the new
a winged god, humbly stretches vast
planes to get a fuller view
no chance to get all of the picture
always craving lunas spark
controlled by drives from oldest scripture
don't know why you avert the dark

through your fat body you stand out
dancing through the black of night
when you are caught you cannot shout
barely struggle, cannot fight
betwixt my teeth you're caught in wire
a black wet cave where you expire
crushed and quartered, don't know which
you tasted bland, in protein rich
