Suck the calcium straight out of my bones’
//////// molten skeleton puddled on the tile
across from the grocery store deli, an ent
//////// ire gallon of two-percent milk.
Crush my body into a sandwich
///////// or a light snack, not salty but sweet.
Where I expect yellow or brown I blanch
///////// white, white, whiter than sourdough.
Instead of blood I melt into marsh
//////// mallow fluff, creamy peanut butter.
Cut my crust, slice me into smaller
//////// versions of what I was before.
///////////////// I promise not to satiate any desire.
//////////////// I’ll leave myself half-eaten.
