Feast of the Fallen
By Rebecca Woods
Hot tub bubbling in the Summer heat
She is dizzy and fading away
Not noticing her decay,
She is sweating boiling meat
Heartbeat Heartbeat,
She is sheep meat,
Bleating Bleating
In the boiling water.
Heartbeat Heartbeat
Tender cooking meat.
God will most likely
Eat his fallen daughter.
Water swirling Water seething
She is groggy and nodding away,
Unaware she's gone astray
And no longer breathing.
Heartbeat Heartbeat,
She is sheep meat
Bleating Bleating
In the boiling water.
Heartbeat Heartbeat
She no longer feels her feet:
Sleeping, Slipping underneath
As the broth grows hotter.
