Voices for Animals

Her flesh bled black
and red, raw, singed scraps
of meat for me
and you

sit smug and smile down
at the heaps of heads
and parts that once had names
but now they all just look the same

the pre-packed, preserved
flanks from the farms
to the plants
to the grocer

getting grosser and more vile,
defiled as she was
beaten to the ground
to the point of being perverse

do you know, by the way,
what it was you just ate—
the barbecued back
of a plump, pink pig
or the rosy-cheeked ass
of your daughter…
