FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

try
eating a slice of my flesh
tell me how it
tastes

try cutting into
my skin
enter a vein and
get some blood
and drink it
and then tell me too
what is its
taste?

i will tell you
in advance: there is no salt in
both,
no sugar,
but it has taste

(as i have taste
or)

that i have
tasted it
myself when
i wanted to
be my own
cannibal,

when you
have done it
do not come to
me
and then tell me
that you
do not like
it and
that you regret
having
intruded into
the privacy
of my veins
into the silent
suffering of
my flesh

and it is just
a drop of blood
a slice
of my skin

when you do
it
i won't tell you
that it
hurts.
