The Beast

The Beast

A Poem by Olu Dumare

They’re all parts of the beast

My torn flesh dangles from his teeth

The meat

The feast

The hearts he eats

His toothpick’s the splinters

From Cupid’s arrows

He crushes the bones

Then chews the marrow

Spits it on his mountain of hopeless romantics

And forlorn poets with hopeless semantics
