insatiable appetite
eats everything
kidneys
heartbeats
dreams
devours without end
flies under the radar
of patriotic flags
revolutionary anthems
licks mouths dry
where lipstick once gave beauty reign
leaves rictus grins
on exhausted faces
runs fat hands over harrowed ribs
embraces
for the briefest of moments
the ravaged remains
of every unworthy victim
fallen
to numb hunger
narrows its gaze
spreads wide its fingers
moves on
