No Escape
shackles leave snake trails
for serpents following behind
but chain-break escapes
peel flesh and thirsty lips
will track the bleed
left in spatters and footprint.
struggles etch deep arrows
and staying still allows the coals
to seal in juices so I'll
join the hunt with all the other
cannibals faking freedom
and we won't stop
until we finally taste ourselves.
