Oily curses drip down

your bearded chin, sin-eater.

"Bellyfulls of warm meat for

anyone brave enough to hunt

his brother," you call. The

hunter's hollow stomach howls

his assent as you swallow him

whole, caging him beneath

your sunken ribs, where he

huddles alongside the shriveled

husk of your worm-infested heart.
