Let me devour your soul.
Tear open your heart,
watch the mechanical
rotation of kinetic energy
summoning me,
calling me.
The rhythmic tick
fucking tock
that begs me
on pleading knees.
Let me devour your soul,
So I may taste the
essence that is you
as the pendulum rocks and grains of ageless
sand are lost.
