Pomegranates are holy!

There is something holy
about eating a pomegranate
Holy and yet cannibalistic

See all the creatures nestled
into the Earth
Each one glows
Each one bleeds
Each one has a seed

And somehow I can't help but feel
as the ruby juice trickles down my cheek
staining my teeth and my lips
wet glowing red
that I am feasting on humanity

I become wild and barbaric
as I plunge my hands into the juice
and smear it on my hair.
