Cannibal

Balm me in honey
and wine
because I say so. Dip me
two times, after, in water,
then wash and let what's left
stay splayed on me.
Take a piece of my flesh
and taste it on your tongue,
carve it up
with your fork.

Now bring the lamb:
dip it in honey but not wine,
wash it, cut its hair
away. Slice it up.
Salt it.

Serve lamb and moist potatoes
on a platter with some wild
cranberries.

I will be your desert.
