Description
It starts with a dreamA bite, stolen sweet
Tart, with rosemary,
A side of soft cream.
It ends with a crash,
The dark and disaster,
A crumbling consumer
Of our laden stash.
For life will devour
All things that we love,
It's hunger, our hunger,
We fill up our plates
As we feast at its feet.
But thyme, unlike time,
Will not cure what's inside.
The bittersweet poison
A sprinkling of seasons,
Turns winter to fall
And masticates reason.
Through each wretched bite
We pass on our venom,
Like serpents we strike
As we tear in with zeal,
As though our consumption
Could draw out more flesh
From the picked over bones
Of a leftover meal.
