Period

sour meat and blood
sticky flesh, hot, funky
hunger craves some spicy food
nostrils flare. It's tangy

this is nasty, good
throbbing, pushing, aching
caught up in a mood
messy for the taking

fire burns the loins of lust
and faces, mud mashed, groan
and madness in the eyes is blind
just wants and grunts and pounds

and beauty is an ugly thing
when its turned inside out
an old rag, used and tossed aside
collapsed, caught breath leaks out
