a note from an omnivore
your bones
oh animal
evidence of life
I have taken to nourish myself
did I earn your death?
THANK YOU for dying for me!
your bones
oh dear animal
how can I come to terms with your death I caused?
I fed and milked you for a while
gave you treats and let you roam free on pastures
called you by your name
your bones
oh dear animal
emanating presence
now gone
hopefully whispering forgiveness
I hope
I once was or will be
an animal
nourishing you.
