Seraphel

Devourer

A colossal appetite.
A small menu.
A maw on a leash.

A serpent growing inside you,
bile breaking your remains down—
an arcane union.

I feel you twitch.
I feel you drip.
It’s getting tighter.
I feel the grip.

I look into your windows.
Your self-control slips.

Isn’t it divine?
Your will giving in to mine?

All it takes is tenderness and time.
