Cousin

My cousin eats always alone My cousin salts food ‘til it erodes My cousin gnaws marrow from the bone My cousin came just before you showed My cousin held your hand too tight Big mouth bites down on what it bites My cousin spills into your space My cousin, he only consumes Seeks nothing, consumes Sought nothing, consumed My cousin dissolves into the Earth Ages fast and folds in My cousin expands in and through Looped in and back again My cousin seeks the end of the thread My cousin is born again Seeks nothing, consumes Sought nothing, consumed In the light of day We are many Bite back In the light of day We are many Bite back
