steamed egg pudding vanilla yogurt
chocolate protein drink pink smoked
salmon white toast shredded pork
topped oatmeal cheesecake sautéed
beef noodles caramel swirl ice cream
isn’t it remarkable that after you remove
the bones and seal the bubbled blood
everything still tastes like flesh
like the body knows what to miss
