look at someone you want to eat and not eat them.

From “Subtle Is the Lord” by Mike Puican
The wildness of the heart increases in the dark.
You say, “Subtle is the Lord; my head is tied to a pole.”
You lie in your bed in a bird suit. You sing
a song not so much unsung, as wordless.
Subtle is the Lord; your head is tied to a pole.
You say, “For God to speak, remove your hands from His throat.”
The fear
that all this
will end.The fear
that it won’t.
