An Ode to Dionysus
“You are a bloody glutton, aren’t you”
Café au lait irises, dilate like the peak of a coca rush.
Cinnamon skin — suddenly torched cherry red, on my apples of my cheeks.
Mouth goes cotton — inedible, used by the superficials to feel stuffed like a teddy.
Roasted bird falls from my artificially colored lips — red dye number 40
On my lap is a mash of regurgitated expired tan muddled with cranberry rouge.
Nourishment has no longevity
Gluttonous tendencies comfort, filling up my tummy as if a baby resides for 12 months.
Waiting, savoring, obsessing.
Only shove, stuff, repeat.
Spoiled words drift into the air, decayed banana peels
“I️ suppose I️ am”
