like wolves from As Death by Nahja Mora

thanks for making this cat always cry for food
if forgotten this lie will remember
to never let this go

from porcelain insincerity
two pointless messengers
always can supply empty promises

words away and seconds pass
days burn on, now hours last
ill-begotten text, a rapecamp on paper,
bonds a liar's crop to your words

heavens glare in a pool of disease
like wolves hiding in pillows
you'll struggle to close
the wounds.

broken and constant, you can't pull the knife out
alone and collapsing, watching your bed burn
watching it all fall
there's no facing forward, there's no way back now
there's no explanation
you're just dying

you can't gain a foothold, it's all going faster
and you're moving slower
there's no excuse now, there's no more reason
it's just what you wanted
i guess.

drowning, sorry, falling, blinded
drowning, sorry, falling, faster
drowning, sideways, crashing, faster
drowning, darker, crashing, apart
apart
abort

rest now
and forget
every part that tears
with every movement you make
it's not really there.

when the cheese fell from his mouth,
as the vulture ripped him in half,
"beautiful imagination, you're playing tricks on me again,"
the mouse thought.
then his eyes went out.
