Vicious smiling the blackened grin of loathing
and deepening greaseful bliss
Bounding round and dropped raw
Skinned knees and bloody gums
Spat teeth over the glow of the moon
Into the grey snow and hill
Fat and dark and young
when memory was new and painful
As we stumbled out of the furnace in tatters
and burned clean
and washed down
and eaten whole
